Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Ii. - Xi - Transubstantiation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Enough for see with dim association | A |
| The tapers burn the odorous incense feeds | B |
| A greedy flame the pompous mass proceeds | B |
| The Priest bestows the appointed consecration | A |
| And while the Host is raised its elevation | A |
| An awe and supernatural horror breeds | B |
| And all the people bow their heads like reeds | B |
| To a soft breeze in lowly adoration | A |
| This Valdo brooks not On the banks of Rhone | C |
| He taught till persecution chased him thence | D |
| To adore the Invisible and Him alone | C |
| Nor are his Followers loth to seek defense | D |
| 'Mid woods and wilds on Nature's craggy throne | C |
| From rites that trample upon soul and sense | D |
