What's a 'tma'?

London, 1802

Milton! thou shouldst be living at this hour:
England hath need of thee: she is a fen
Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen,
Fireside, the heroic wealth of hall and bower,
Have forfeited their ancient English dower
Of inward happiness. We are selfish men;
Oh! raise us up, return to us again;
And give us manners, virtue, freedom, power.
Thy soul was like a Star, and dwelt apart:
Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea:
Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free,
So didst thou travel on life's common way,
In cheerful godliness; and yet the heart
The lowliest duties on herself did lay.

-- William Wordsworth

On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer

Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold,
And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;
Round many western islands have I been
Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold.
Oft of one wide expanse had I been told
That deep-brow'd Homer ruled as his demesne;
Yet never did I breathe its pure serene
Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold.
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
When a new planet swims into his ken;
Or like stout Cortez, when with eagle eyes
He star'd at the Pacific - and all his men
Look'd at each other with a wild surmise -
Silent, upon a peak in Darien.

-- John Keats

First, they are both Petrarchan sonnets. See, for example,

Look at the possible rhyme schemes and find out what iambic pentameter means, for your rhythm question.

<[www.poeticbyway.com]>

By language, I assume you mean 'tone', instead of English.

<[www.poeticbyway.com]>

I guess you could safely say they both have a 'solemn' tone, but one is praising Chapman's book on Homer, and the other deprecating London in 1802.

For alliteration and/or word order, look for words near each other that begin with the same letter(s), or repeat similar sounds. For example, look at the 's', 'z' and 'st' sounds here:

>Thy soul was like a Star, and dwelt apart:
>Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea:

>Or like stout Cortez, when with eagle eyes
>He star'd at the Pacific - and all his men

You will note similar vowel sounds in neighboring words as well. Here is the glossary page for the links above for your reference:
