Illustrated Books And Newspapers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABAABCDEDCDDiscourse 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
