Emperors And Kings, How Oft Have Temples Rung Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBAABCDCDCD| EMPERORS and Kings how oft have temples rung | A |
| With impious thanksgiving the Almighty's scorn | B |
| How oft above their altars have been hung | A |
| Trophies that led the good and wise to mourn | B |
| Triumphant wrong battle of battle born | B |
| And sorrow that to fruitless sorrow clung | A |
| Now from Heaven sanctioned victory Peace is sprung | A |
| In this firm hour Salvation lifts her horn | B |
| Glory to arms But conscious that the nerve | C |
| Of popular reason long mistrusted freed | D |
| Your thrones ye Powers from duty fear to swerve | C |
| Be just be grateful nor the oppressor's creed | D |
| Reviving heavier chastisement deserve | C |
| Than ever forced unpitied hearts to bleed | D |
