Envy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDFEF| Black drips the ooze that you secrete on all | A |
| That Honour's burin graves or Love holds dear | B |
| At sacrifice you laugh at virtue sneer | B |
| And sour rebellion's must the waking thrall | A |
| Would ripen into Freedom with the gall | A |
| Of green suspicion God of drones you hear | C |
| Mutter of plots in all Success on seer | C |
| And saint behold your own foul motives crawl | A |
| O Gluttony that would but dare not gorge | D |
| Theft of the heart that dreads the handcuff Hate | E |
| Too cowardly to hurl the bolts you forge | D |
| And Lust that fears to pluck the flowers you smell | F |
| Too low your lintel to seduce the great | E |
| The meanest of the Seven doors of Hell | F |
