Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Ii. - Xiv - Waldenses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFEG| Those had given earliest notice as the lark | A |
| Springs from the ground the morn to gratulate | B |
| Or rather rose the day to antedate | B |
| By striking out a solitary spark | A |
| When all the world with midnight gloom was dark | A |
| Then followed the Waldensian bands whom Hate | B |
| In vain endeavours to exterminate | B |
| Whom Obloquy pursues with hideous bark | A |
| But they desist not and the sacred fire | C |
| Rekindled thus from dens and savage woods | D |
| Moves handed on with never ceasing care | E |
| Through courts through camps o'er limitary floods | F |
| Nor lacks this sea girt Isle a timely share | E |
| Of the new Flame not suffered to expire | G |
