Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Xxxviii - Scene In Venice Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCADEEDAA| Black Demons hovering o'er his mitred head | A |
| To Caesar's Successor the Pontiff spake | B |
| Ere I absolve thee stoop that on thy neck | C |
| Leveled with earth this foot of mine may tread | A |
| Then he who to the altar had been led | A |
| He whose strong arm the Orient could not check | C |
| He who had held the Soldan at his beck | C |
| Stooped of all glory disinherited | A |
| And even the common dignity of man | D |
| Amazement strikes the crowd while many turn | E |
| Their eyes away in sorrow others burn | E |
| With scorn invoking a vindictive ban | D |
| From outraged Nature but the sense of most | A |
| In abject sympathy with power is lost | A |
