Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Iii. - Xi - Sacheverel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADDCEFEFEF| A sudden conflict rises from the swell | A |
| Of a proud slavery met by tenets strained | B |
| In Liberty's behalf Fears true or feigned | B |
| Spread through all ranks and lo the Sentinel | C |
| Who loudest rang his pulpit 'larum bell | A |
| Stands at the Bar absolved by female eyes | D |
| Mingling their glances with grave flatteries | D |
| Lavished on 'Him' that England may rebel | C |
| Against her ancient virtue high and low | E |
| Watchwords of Party on all tongues are rife | F |
| As if a Church though sprung from heaven must owe | E |
| To opposites and fierce extremes her life | F |
| Not to the golden mean and quiet flow | E |
| Of truths that soften hatred temper strife | F |
