Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Iii. - Viii - Acquittal Of The Bishops Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDAABEFFGEH| A voice from long expecting thousands sent | A |
| Shatters the air and troubles tower and spire | B |
| For Justice hath absolved the innocent | C |
| And Tyranny is balked of her desire | D |
| Up down the busy Thames rapid as fire | D |
| Coursing a train of gunpowder it went | A |
| And transport finds in every street a vent | A |
| Till the whole City rings like one vast quire | B |
| The Fathers urge the People to be still | E |
| With outstretched hands and earnest speech in vain | F |
| Yea many haply wont to entertain | F |
| Small reverence for the mitre's offices | G |
| And to Religion's self no friendly will | E |
| A Prelate's blessing ask on bended knees | H |
