Vain Wits And Eyes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFGG| VAIN wits and eyes | A |
| Leave and be wise | A |
| Abuse not shun not holy fire | B |
| But with true tears wash off your mire | C |
| Tears and these flames will soon grow kind | D |
| And mix an eye salve for the blind | D |
| Tears cleanse and supple without fail | E |
| And fire will purge your callous veil | E |
| Then comes the light which when you spy | F |
| And see your nakedness thereby | F |
| Praise Him Who dealt His gifts so free | G |
| In tears to you in fire to me | G |
