O-erweening Statesmen Have Full Long Relied Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADAADEE| O'ERWEENING Statesmen have full long relied | A |
| On fleets and armies and external wealth | B |
| But from 'within' proceeds a Nation's health | B |
| Which shall not fail though poor men cleave with pride | A |
| To the paternal floor or turn aside | A |
| In the thronged city from the walks of gain | C |
| As being all unworthy to detain | C |
| A Soul by contemplation sanctified | A |
| There are who cannot languish in this strife | D |
| Spaniards of every rank by whom the good | A |
| Of such high course was felt and understood | A |
| Who to their Country's cause have bound a life | D |
| Erewhile by solemn consecration given | E |
| To labour and to prayer to nature and to heaven | E |
