Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Ii. - Xxvi - Apology Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADCEFFGFFG| Not utterly unworthy to endure | A |
| Was the supremacy of crafty Rome | B |
| Age after age to the arch of Christendom | C |
| Aerial keystone haughtily secure | A |
| Supremacy from Heaven transmitted pure | A |
| As many hold and therefore to the tomb | D |
| Pass some through fire and by the scaffold some | C |
| Like saintly Fisher and unbending More | E |
| Lightly for both the bosom's lord did sit | F |
| Upon his throne unsoftened undismayed | F |
| By aught that mingled with the tragic scene | G |
| Of pity or fear and More's gay genius played | F |
| With the inoffensive sword of native wit | F |
| Than the bare axe more luminous and keen | G |
