Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Ii. - Xii - The Vaudois Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADDAEFGEDD| But whence came they who for the Saviour Lord | A |
| Have long borne witness as the Scriptures teach | B |
| Ages ere Valdo raised his voice to preach | B |
| In Gallic ears the unadulterate Word | C |
| Their fugitive Progenitors explored | A |
| Subalpine vales in quest of safe retreats | D |
| Where that pure Church survives though summer heats | D |
| Open a passage to the Romish sword | A |
| Far as it dares to follow Herbs self sown | E |
| And fruitage gathered from the chestnut wood | F |
| Nourish the sufferers then and mists that brood | G |
| O'er chasms with new fallen obstacles bestrown | E |
| Protect them and the eternal snow that daunts | D |
| Aliens is God's good winter for their haunts | D |
