Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Xxxvii - Papal Abuses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBADEEDFF| As with the Stream our voyage we pursue | A |
| The gross materials of this world present | B |
| A marvelous study of wild accident | B |
| Uncouth proximities of old and new | A |
| And bold transfigurations more untrue | A |
| As might be deemed to disciplined intent | C |
| Than aught the sky's fantastic element | B |
| When most fantastic offers to the view | A |
| Saw we not Henry scourged at Becket's shrine | D |
| Lo John self stripped of his insignia crown | E |
| Sceptre and mantle sword and ring laid down | E |
| At a proud Legate's feet The spears that line | D |
| Baronial halls the opprobrious insult feel | F |
| And angry Ocean roars a vain appeal | F |
