Peter's Pence From Perugia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDBBEFGFGHH| Iscariot thou grey grown beast of blood | A |
| Stand forth to plead stand while red drops run here | B |
| And there down fingers shaken with foul fear | C |
| Down the sick shivering chin that stooped and sued | D |
| Bowed to the bosom for a little food | D |
| At Herod's hand who smites thee cheek and ear | B |
| Cry out Iscariot haply he will hear | B |
| Cry till he turn again to do thee good | E |
| Gather thy gold up Judas all thy gold | F |
| And buy thee death no Christ is here to sell | G |
| But the dead earth of poor men bought and sold | F |
| While year heaps year above thee safe in hell | G |
| To grime thy grey dishonourable head | H |
| With dusty shame when thou art damned and dead | H |
