On A Nun Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACACDEDEDE| Of two fair virgins modest though admired | A |
| Heaven made us happy and now wretched sires | B |
| Heaven for a nobler doom their worth desires | C |
| And gazing upon either both required | A |
| Mine while the torch of Hymen newly fired | A |
| Becomes extinguish'd soon too soon expires | C |
| But thine within the closing grate re tired | A |
| Eternal captive to her God aspires | C |
| But thou at least from out the jealous door | D |
| Which shuts between your never meet ing eyes | E |
| May'st hear her sweet and pious voice once more | D |
| I to the marble where my daughter lies | E |
| Rush the swoln flood of bitterness I pour | D |
| And knock and knock and knock but none replies | E |
