Redemption Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFGHHGEE| Having been tenant long to a rich lord | A |
| Not thriving I resolved to be bold | B |
| And make a suit unto him to afford | A |
| A new small rented lease and cancel the old | B |
| In heaven at his manor I him sought | C |
| They told me there that he was lately gone | D |
| About some land which he had dearly bought | E |
| Long since on earth to take possession | F |
| I straight returned and knowing his great birth | G |
| Sought him accordingly in great resorts | H |
| In cities theaters gardens parks and courts | H |
| At length I heard a ragged noise and mirth | G |
| Of thieves and murderers there I him espied | E |
| Who straight Your suit is granted said and died | E |
