Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Iii. - Vii - Persecution Of The Scottish Covenanters Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBABABCBCCB| When Alpine Vales threw forth a suppliant cry | A |
| The Majesty of England interposed | B |
| And the sword stopped the bleeding wounds were closed | B |
| And Faith preserved her ancient purity | B |
| How little boots that precedent of good | B |
| Scorned or forgotten Thou canst testify | A |
| For England's shame O Sister Realm from wood | B |
| Mountain and moor and crowded street where lie | A |
| The headless martyrs of the Covenant | B |
| Slain by Compatriot protestants that draw | C |
| From councils senseless as intolerant | B |
| Their warrant Bodies fall by wild sword law | C |
| But who would force the Soul tilts with a straw | C |
| Against a Champion cased in adamant | B |
