Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Ii. - Xxiii - Continued Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACACAAA| Yet many a Novice of the cloistral shade | A |
| And many chained by vows with eager glee | B |
| The warrant hail exulting to be free | B |
| Like ships before whose keels full long embayed | A |
| In polar ice propitious winds have made | A |
| Unlooked for outlet to an open sea | B |
| Their liquid world for bold discovery | B |
| In all her quarters temptingly displayed | A |
| Hope guides the young but when the old must pass | C |
| The threshold whither shall they turn to find | A |
| The hospitality the alms alas | C |
| Alms may be needed which that House bestowed | A |
| Can they in faith and worship train the mind | A |
| To keep this new and questionable road | A |
