Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Ii. - Xxviii - Reflections Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDCE| Grant that by this unsparing hurricane | A |
| Green leaves with yellow mixed are torn away | B |
| And goodly fruitage with the mother spray | B |
| 'Twere madness wished we therefore to detain | A |
| With hands stretched forth in mollified disdain | A |
| The trumpery that ascends in bare display | B |
| Bulls pardons relics cowls black white and grey | B |
| Upwhirled and flying o'er the ethereal plain | A |
| Fast bound for Limbo Lake And yet not choice | C |
| But habit rules the unreflecting herd | D |
| And airy bonds are hardest to disown | E |
| Hence with the spiritual sovereignty transferred | D |
| Unto itself the Crown assumes a voice | C |
| Of reckless mastery hitherto unknown | E |
