Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Iii. - Iii - Charles The Second Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEED| Who comes with rapture greeted and caressed | A |
| With frantic love his kingdom to regain | B |
| Him Virtue's Nurse Adversity in vain | B |
| Received and fostered in her iron breast | A |
| For all she taught of hardiest and of best | A |
| Or would have taught by discipline of pain | B |
| And long privation now dissolves amain | B |
| Or is remembered only to give zest | A |
| To wantonness Away Circean revels | C |
| But for what gain if England soon must sink | D |
| Into a gulf which all distinction levels | C |
| That bigotry may swallow the good name | E |
| And with that draught the life blood misery shame | E |
| By Poets loathed from which Historians shrink | D |
