Great Men Have Been Among Us Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFEGGFGreat men have been among us hands that penned | A |
And tongues that uttered wisdom better none | B |
The later Sidney Marvel Harrington | B |
Young Vane and others who called Milton friend | A |
These moralists could act and comprehend | A |
They knew how genuine glory was put on | C |
Taught us how rightfully nation shone | D |
In splendour what strength was that would not bend | A |
But in magnanimous meekness France 'tis strange | E |
Hath brought forth no such souls as we had then | F |
Perpetual emptiness unceasing change | E |
No single volume paramount no code | G |
No master spirit no determined road | G |
But equally a want of books and men | F |
