Honour Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| Me let the world disparage and despise | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp As one unfettered with its gilded chains | B |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp As one untempted by its sordid gains | B |
| Its pleasant vice its profitable lies | A |
| Let Justice blind and halt and maimed chastise | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp The rebel spirit surging in my veins | B |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Let the Law deal me penalties and pains | B |
| And make me hideous in my neighbours' eyes | A |
| - | |
| But let me fall not in mine own esteem | C |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp By poor deceit or selfish greed debased | D |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Let me be clean from secret stain and shame | E |
| Know myself true though false as hell I seem | C |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Know myself worthy howsoe'er disgraced | D |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Know myself right though every tongue should blame | E |
