Mutability Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCC DEFEEEEEE| When I bethink me on that speech whilere | A |
| Of Mutability and well it weigh | B |
| Me seems that though she all unworthy were | A |
| Of the Heav'ns Rule yet very sooth to say | B |
| In all things else she bears the greatest sway | B |
| Which makes me loathe this state of life so tickle | C |
| And love of things so vain to cast away | B |
| Whose flow'ring pride so fading and so fickle | C |
| Short Time shall soon cut down with his consuming sickle | C |
| - | |
| Then gin I think on that which Nature said | D |
| Of that same time when no more Change shall be | E |
| But steadfast rest of all things firmly stayed | F |
| Upon the pillars of Eternity | E |
| That is contrare to Mutability | E |
| For all that moveth doth in Change delight | E |
| But thence forth all shall rest eternally | E |
| With Him that is the God of Sabbaoth hight | E |
| O that great Sabbaoth God grant me that Sabbaoth's sight | E |
