Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Iii. - Xviii - Pastoral Character Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABCADDEFEF| A genial hearth a hospitable board | A |
| And a refined rusticity belong | B |
| To the neat mansion where his flock among | C |
| The learned Pastor dwells their watchful Lord | A |
| Though meek and patient as a sheathed sword | A |
| Though pride's least lurking thought appear a wrong | B |
| To human kind though peace be on his tongue | C |
| Gentleness in his heart can earth afford | A |
| Such genuine state pre eminence so free | D |
| As when arrayed in Christ's authority | D |
| He from the pulpit lifts his awful hand | E |
| Conjures implores and labours all he can | F |
| For re subjecting to divine command | E |
| The stubborn spirit of rebellious man | F |
