Memorials Of A Tour In Italy, 1837 - Xvii. - At The Eremite Or Upper Convent Of Camaldoli Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACDACD| What aim had they the Pair of Monks in size | A |
| Enormous dragged while side by side they sate | B |
| By panting steers up to this convent gate | B |
| How with empurpled cheeks and pampered eyes | A |
| Dare they confront the lean austerities | A |
| Of Brethren who here fixed on Jesu wait | B |
| In sackcloth and God's anger deprecate | B |
| Through all that humbles flesh and mortifies | A |
| Strange contrast verily the world of dreams | A |
| Where mingle as for mockery combined | C |
| Things in their very essences at strife | D |
| Shows not a sight incongruous as the extremes | A |
| That everywhere before the thoughtful mind | C |
| Meet on the solid ground of waking life | D |
