Sin (ii) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABB CCCDE| O that I could a sin once see | A |
| We paint the devil foul yet he | A |
| Hath some good in him all agree | A |
| Sin is flat opposite to th' Almighty seeing | B |
| It wants the good of virtue and of being | B |
| - | |
| But God more care of us hath had | C |
| If apparitions make us sad | C |
| By sight of sin we should grow mad | C |
| Yet as in sleep we see foul death and live | D |
| So devils are our sins in perspective | E |
