Though All Great Deeds Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBADEDEFG| Though all great deeds were proved but fables fine | A |
| Though earth's old story could be told anew | B |
| Though the sweet fashions loved of them that sue | B |
| Were empty as the ruined Delphian shrine | A |
| Though God did never man in words benign | A |
| With sense of His great Fatherhood endue | C |
| Though life immortal were a dream untrue | B |
| And He that promised it were not divine | A |
| Though soul though spirit were not and all hope | D |
| Reaching beyond the bourne melted away | E |
| Though virtue had no goal and good no scope | D |
| But both were doomed to end with this our clay | E |
| Though all these were not to the ungraced heir | F |
| Would this remain to live as though they were | G |
