Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Ii. - Xxxvii - English Reformers In Exile Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADCCEDE| Scattering like birds escaped the fowler's net | A |
| Some seek with timely flight a foreign strand | B |
| Most happy re assembled in a land | B |
| By dauntless Luther freed could they forget | A |
| Their Country's woes But scarcely have they met | A |
| Partners in faith and brothers in distress | C |
| Free to pour forth their common thankfulness | C |
| Ere hope declines their union is beset | A |
| With speculative notions rashly sown | D |
| Whence thickly sprouting growth of poisonous weeds | C |
| Their forms are broken staves their passions steeds | C |
| That master them How enviably blest | E |
| Is he who can by help of grace enthrone | D |
| The peace of God within his single breast | E |
