Subsidy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| If thou wouldst live the Truth in very deed | A |
| Thou hast thy joy but thou hast more of pain | B |
| Others will live in peace and thou be fain | B |
| To bargain with despair and in thy need | A |
| To make thy meal upon the scantiest weed | A |
| These palaces for thee they stand in vain | B |
| Thine is a ruinous hut and oft the rain | B |
| Shall drench thee in the midnight yea the speed | A |
| Of earth outstrip thee pilgrim while thy feet | C |
| Move slowly up the heights Yet will there come | D |
| Through the time rents about thy moving cell | E |
| Shot from the Truth's own bow and flaming sweet | C |
| An arrow for despair and oft the hum | D |
| Of far off populous realms where spirits dwell | E |
