Illustrated Books And Newspapers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBABAABCDEDCD

Discourse was deemed Man's noblest attributeA
And written words the glory of his handB
Then followed Printing with enlarged commandB
For thought dominion vast and absoluteA
For spreading truth and making love expandB
Now prose and verse sunk into disreputeA
Must lacquey a dumb Art that best can suitA
The taste of this once intellectual LandB
A backward movement surely have we hereC
From manhood back to childhood for the ageD
Back towards caverned life's first rude careerE
Avaunt this vile abuse of pictured pageD
Must eyes be all in all the tongue and earC
Nothing Heaven keep us from a lower stageD

William Wordsworth
