Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Ii. - Ii - From False Assumption Rose Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCCBDEFEFD| From false assumption rose and fondly hailed | A |
| By superstition spread the Papal power | B |
| Yet do not deem the Autocracy prevailed | A |
| Thus only even in error's darkest hour | B |
| She daunts forth thundering from her spiritual tower | B |
| Brute rapine or with gentle lure she tames | C |
| Justice and Peace through Her uphold their claims | C |
| And Chastity finds many a sheltering bower | B |
| Realm there is none that if controlled or swayed | D |
| By her commands partakes not in degree | E |
| Of good o'er manners arts and arms diffused | F |
| Yes to thy domination Roman See | E |
| Tho' miserably oft monstrously abused | F |
| By blind ambition be this tribute paid | D |
