On The Infancy Of Our Savior Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEAAFFGGHHII| Hail blessed Virgin full of heavenly grace | A |
| Blest above all that sprang from human race | A |
| Whose heaven saluted womb brought forth in one | B |
| A blessed Savior and a blessed Son | B |
| O what a ravishment 't had been to see | C |
| Thy little Savior perking on thy knee | C |
| To see Him nuzzle in thy virgin breast | D |
| His milk white body all unclad undressed | D |
| To see thy busy fingers clothe and wrap | E |
| His spraddling limbs in thy indulgent lap | E |
| To see His desperate eyes with childish grace | A |
| Smiling upon His smiling mother's face | A |
| And when His forward strength began to bloom | F |
| To see Him diddle up and down the room | F |
| O who would think so sweet a Babe as this | G |
| Should ere be slain by a false hearted kiss | G |
| Had I a rag if sure Thy body wore it | H |
| Pardon sweet Babe I think I should adore it | H |
| Till then O grant this boon a boon far dearer | I |
| The weed not being I may adore the Wearer | I |
