The Relapse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFGHGHIJIJKLKL MNONPLPLMy God how gracious art thou I had slipt | A |
Almost to hell | B |
And on the verge of that dark dreadful pit | A |
Did hear them yell | B |
But O thy love thy rich almighty love | C |
That sav'd my soul | D |
And checkt their fury when I saw them move | E |
And heard them howl | F |
O my sole comfort take no more these ways | G |
This hideous path | H |
And I will mend my own without delays | G |
Cease thou thy wrath | H |
I have deserv'd a thick Egyptian damp | I |
Dark as my deeds | J |
Should mist within me and put out that lamp | I |
Thy spirit feeds | J |
A darting conscience full of stabs and fears | K |
No shade but Yew | L |
Sullen and sad eclipses cloudy spheres | K |
These are my due | L |
But he that with his blood a price too dear | M |
My scores did pay | N |
Bid me by virtue from him challenge here | O |
The brightest day | N |
Sweet downy thoughts soft lily shades calm streams | P |
Joys full and true | L |
Fresh spicy mornings and eternal beams | P |
These are his due | L |
