Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Ii. - Vi - Other Benefits Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFDFE| And not in vain embodied to the sight | A |
| Religion finds even in the stern retreat | B |
| Of feudal sway her own appropriate seat | B |
| From the collegiate pomps on Windsor's height | A |
| Down to the humbler altar which the Knight | A |
| And his retainers of the embattled hall | C |
| Seek in domestic oratory small | C |
| For prayer in stillness or the chanted rite | A |
| Then chiefly dear when foes are planted round | D |
| Who teach the intrepid guardians of the place | E |
| Hourly exposed to death with famine worn | F |
| And suffering under many a perilous wound | D |
| How sad would be their durance if forlorn | F |
| Of offices dispensing heavenly grace | E |
