Discontent Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADDAEFEFEF| LIGHT human nature is too lightly tost | A |
| And ruffled without cause complaining on | B |
| Restless with rest until being overthrown | C |
| It learneth to lie quiet Let a frost | A |
| Or a small wasp have crept to the inner most | A |
| Of our ripe peach or let the wilful sun | D |
| Shine westward of our window straight we run | D |
| A furlong's sigh as if the world were lost | A |
| But what time through the heart and through the brain | E |
| God hath transfixed us we so moved before | F |
| Attain to a calm Ay shouldering weights of pain | E |
| We anchor in deep waters safe from shore | F |
| And hear submissive o'er the stormy main | E |
| God's chartered judgments walk for evermore | F |
