Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Ii. - Xx - Monastic Voluptuousness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDCF| Yet more round many a Convent's blazing fire | A |
| Unhallowed threads of revelry are spun | B |
| There Venus sits disguised like a Nun | B |
| While Bacchus clothed in semblance of a Friar | A |
| Pours out his choicest beverage high and higher | A |
| Sparkling until it cannot choose but run | B |
| Over the bowl whose silver lip hath won | B |
| An instant kiss of masterful desire | A |
| To stay the precious waste Through every brain | C |
| The domination of the sprightly juice | D |
| Spreads high conceits to madding Fancy dear | E |
| Till the arched roof with resolute abuse | D |
| Of its grave echoes swells a choral strain | C |
| Whose votive burthen is Our Kingdom's Here | F |
