The Relapse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFGHGHIJIJKLKL MNONPLPL| My 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 |
