Memorials Of A Tour In Italy, 1837 - Xi. - From The Alban Hills, Looking Towards Rome Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABCBCDEDEFB| Forgive illustrious Country these deep sighs | A |
| Heaved less for thy bright plains and hills bestrown | B |
| With monuments decayed or overthrown | B |
| For all that tottering stands or prostrate lies | A |
| Than for like scenes in moral vision shown | B |
| Ruin perceived for keener sympathies | C |
| Faith crushed yet proud of weeds her gaudy crown | B |
| Virtues laid low and mouldering energies | C |
| Yet why prolong this mournful strain Fallen Power | D |
| Thy fortunes twice exalted might provoke | E |
| Verse to glad notes prophetic of the hour | D |
| When thou uprisen shalt break thy double yoke | E |
| And enter with prompt aid from the Most High | F |
| On the third stage of thy great destiny | B |
