Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Ii. - Iv - Deplorable His Lot Who Tills The Ground Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFEFD| Deplorable his lot who tills the ground | A |
| His whole life long tills it with heartless toil | B |
| Of villain service passing with the soil | B |
| To each new Master like a steer or hound | A |
| Or like a rooted tree or stone earth bound | A |
| But mark how gladly through their own domains | C |
| The Monks relax or break these iron chains | C |
| While Mercy uttering through their voice a sound | A |
| Echoed in Heaven cries out Ye Chiefs abate | D |
| These legalized oppressions Man whose name | E |
| And nature God disdained not Man whose soul | F |
| Christ died for cannot forfeit his high claim | E |
| To live and move exempt from all control | F |
| Which fellow feeling doth not mitigate | D |
