Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Ii. - Xxi - Dissolution Of The Monasteries Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCEE| Threats come which no submission may assuage | A |
| No sacrifice avert no power dispute | B |
| The tapers shall be quenched the belfries mute | B |
| And 'mid their choirs unroofed by selfish rage | A |
| The warbling wren shall find a leafy cage | A |
| The gadding bramble hang her purple fruit | B |
| And the green lizard and the gilded newt | B |
| Lead unmolested lives and die of age | A |
| The owl of evening and the woodland fox | C |
| For their abode the shrines of Waltham choose | D |
| Proud Glastonbury can no more refuse | D |
| To stoop her head before these desperate shocks | C |
| She whose high pomp displaced as story tells | E |
| Arimathean Joseph's wattled cells | E |
