Without Disguise Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEDFF| If I have erred in showing all my heart | A |
| And lost your favour by a lack of pride | B |
| If standing like a beggar at your side | B |
| With naked feet I have forgot the art | A |
| Of those who bargain well in passion's mart | A |
| And win the thing they want by what they hide | B |
| Be mine the fault as mine the hope denied | B |
| Be mine the lover's and the loser's part | A |
| - | |
| The sin if sin it was I do repent | C |
| And take the penance on myself alone | D |
| Yet after I have borne the punishment | E |
| I shall not fear to stand before the throne | D |
| Of Love with open heart and make this plea | F |
| At least I have not lied to her nor Thee | F |
