Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Iii. - Xxxviii - New Churches Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFGEFG| But liberty and triumphs on the Main | A |
| And laureled armies not to be withstood | B |
| What serve they if on transitory good | B |
| Intent and sedulous of abject gain | A |
| The State ah surely not preserved in vain | A |
| Forbear to shape due channels which the Flood | C |
| Of sacred truth may enter till it brood | D |
| O'er the wide realm as o'er the Egyptian plain | A |
| The all sustaining Nile No more the time | E |
| Is conscious of her want through England's bounds | F |
| In rival haste the wished for Temples rise | G |
| I hear their sabbath bells' harmonious chime | E |
| Float on the breeze the heavenliest of all sounds | F |
| That vale or hill prolongs or multiplies | G |
