Young England--what Is Then Become Of Old Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEFYOUNG ENGLAND what is then become of Old | A |
Of dear Old England Think they she is dead | B |
Dead to the very name Presumption fed | B |
On empty air That name will keep its hold | A |
In the true filial bosom's inmost fold | A |
For ever The Spirit of Alfred at the head | B |
Of all who for her rights watched toiled and bled | B |
Knows that this prophecy is not too bold | A |
What how shall she submit in will and deed | C |
To Beardless Boys an imitative race | D |
The 'servum pecus' of a Gallic breed | C |
Dear Mother if thou 'must' thy steps retrace | D |
Go where at least meek Innocency dwells | E |
Let Babes and Sucklings be thy oracles | F |
William Wordsworth
