Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Ii. - Xlvi - Afflictions Of England Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBADEFEFD| Harp could'st thou venture on thy boldest string | A |
| The faintest note to echo which the blast | B |
| Caught from the hand of Moses as it passed | B |
| O'er Sinai's top or from the Shepherd king | A |
| Early awake by Siloa's brook to sing | A |
| Of dread Jehovah then should wood and waste | C |
| Hear also of that name and mercy cast | B |
| Off to the mountains like a covering | A |
| Of which the Lord was weary Weep oh weep | D |
| Weep with the good beholding King and Priest | E |
| Despised by that stern God to whom they raise | F |
| Their suppliant hands but holy is the feast | E |
| He keepeth like the firmament his ways | F |
| His statutes like the chambers of the deep | D |
