Illustrated Books And Newspapers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABAABCDEDCD| Discourse was deemed Man's noblest attribute | A |
| And written words the glory of his hand | B |
| Then followed Printing with enlarged command | B |
| For thought dominion vast and absolute | A |
| For spreading truth and making love expand | B |
| Now prose and verse sunk into disrepute | A |
| Must lacquey a dumb Art that best can suit | A |
| The taste of this once intellectual Land | B |
| A backward movement surely have we here | C |
| From manhood back to childhood for the age | D |
| Back towards caverned life's first rude career | E |
| Avaunt this vile abuse of pictured page | D |
| Must eyes be all in all the tongue and ear | C |
| Nothing Heaven keep us from a lower stage | D |
William Wordsworth
