Envy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGFGE| When Satan sends to vex the mind of man | A |
| And urge him on to meanness and to wrong | B |
| His satellites there is not one that can | A |
| Acquit itself like envy Not so strong | B |
| As lust so quick as fear so big as hate | C |
| A pigmy thing the twin of sordid greed | D |
| Its work all noble things to underrate | C |
| Decry fair face fair form fair thought fair deed | D |
| A sneer it has for what is highest best | E |
| For love's soft voice and virtue's robe of white | F |
| Truth is not true and pity is not kind | G |
| A great task done is but a pastime light | F |
| Tormented and tormenting is the mind | G |
| That grants to envy room to make its nest | E |
