Joseph's Coat Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDFGHGHII| Wounded I sing tormented I indite | A |
| Thrown down I fall into a bed and rest | B |
| Sorrow hath chang'd its note such is his will | C |
| Who changeth all things as him pleaseth best | B |
| For well he knows if but one grief and smart | D |
| Among my many had his full career | E |
| Sure it would carry with it ev'n my heart | D |
| And both would run until they found a bier | F |
| To fetch the body both being due to grief | G |
| But he hath spoil'd the race and giv'n to anguish | H |
| One of Joy's coats 'ticing it with relief | G |
| To linger in me and together languish | H |
| I live to shew his power who once did bring | I |
| My joys to weep and now my griefs to sing | I |
