Holy Sonnet Ii: As Due By Many Titles Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCCC

As due by many titles I resigneA
My selfe to thee O God first I was madeB
By thee and for thee and when I was decay'dB
Thy blood bought that the which before was thineA
I am thy sonne made with thy selfe to shineA
Thy servant whose paines thou hast still repaidB
Thy sheepe thine Image and till I betray'dB
My selfe a temple of thy Spirit divineA
Why doth the devill then usurpe on meeC
Why doth he steale nay ravish that's thy rightD
Except thou rise and for thine own worke fightD
Oh I shall soone despaire when I doe seeC
That thou lov'st mankind well yet wilt'not chuse meC
And Satan hates mee yet is loth to lose meC

John Donne
