Where Art Thou Come? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABCABDEFGHIAHCC| 'Friend whereto art thou come ' Thus Verity | A |
| Of each that to the world's sad Olivet | A |
| Comes with no multitude but alone by night | A |
| Lit with the one torch of his lifted soul | B |
| Seeking her that he may lay hands on her | C |
| Thus and waits answer from the mouth of deed | A |
| Truth is a maid whom men woo diversely | B |
| This as a spouse that as a light o' love | D |
| To know and having known to make his brag | E |
| But woe to him that takes the immortal kiss | F |
| And not estates her in his housing life | G |
| Mother of all his seed So he betrays | H |
| Not Truth the unbetrayable but himself | I |
| And with his kiss's rated traitor craft | A |
| The Haceldama of a plot of days | H |
| He buys to consummate his Judasry | C |
| Therein with Judas' guerdon of despair | C |
