Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Ii. - Xxxvi - General View Of The Troubles Of The Reformation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECED| Aid glorious Martyrs from your fields of light | A |
| Our mortal ken Inspire a perfect trust | B |
| While we look round that Heaven's decrees are just | B |
| Which few can hold committed to a fight | A |
| That shows ev'n on its better side the might | A |
| Of proud Self will Rapacity and Lust | B |
| 'Mid clouds enveloped of polemic dust | B |
| Which showers of blood seem rather to incite | A |
| Than to allay Anathemas are hurled | C |
| From both sides veteran thunders the brute test | D |
| Of truth are met by fulminations new | E |
| Tartarean flags are caught at and unfurled | C |
| Friends strike at friends the flying shall pursue | E |
| And Victory sickens ignorant where to rest | D |
