Inscriptions For A Seat In The Groves Of Coleorton Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABAAACCAADDEEFFAAGG| BENEATH yon eastern ridge the craggy bound | A |
| Rugged and high of Charnwood's forest ground | A |
| Stand yet but Stranger hidden from thy view | B |
| The ivied Ruins of forlorn GRACE DIEU | A |
| Erst a religious House which day and night | A |
| With hymns resounded and the chanted rite | A |
| And when those rites had ceased the Spot gave birth | C |
| To honourable Men of various worth | C |
| There on the margin of a streamlet wild | A |
| Did Francis Beaumont sport an eager child | A |
| There under shadow of the neighbouring rocks | D |
| Sang youthful tales of shepherds and their flocks | D |
| Unconscious prelude to heroic themes | E |
| Heart breaking tears and melancholy dreams | E |
| Of slighted love and scorn and jealous rage | F |
| With which his genius shook the buskined stage | F |
| Communities are lost and Empires die | A |
| And things of holy use unhallowed lie | A |
| They perish but the Intellect can raise | G |
| From airy words alone a Pile that ne'er decays | G |
