Sonnets - Ii. - Roman Antiquities Discovered At Bishopstone, Herefordshire Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCADEEDDE

While poring Antiquarians search the groundA
Upturned with curious pains the Bard a SeerB
Takes fire The men that have been reappearC
Romans for travel girt for business gownedA
And some recline on couches myrtle crownedA
In festal glee why not For fresh and clearC
As if its hues were of the passing yearC
Dawns this time buried pavement From that moundA
Hoards may come forth of Trajans MaximinsD
Shrunk into coins with all their warlike toilE
Or a fierce impress issues with its foilE
Of tenderness the Wolf whose suckling TwinsD
The unlettered ploughboy pities when he winsD
The casual treasure from the furrowed soilE

William Wordsworth
