Holy Sonnet Vi: This Is My Play's Last Scene, Here Heavens Appoint Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACACDD| This is my play's last scene here heavens appoint | A |
| My pilgrimage's last mile and my race | B |
| Idly yet quickly run hath this last pace | B |
| My span's last inch my minute's latest point | A |
| And gluttonous death will instantly unjoint | A |
| My body and soul and I shall sleep a space | B |
| But my ever waking part shall see that face | B |
| Whose fear already shakes my every joint | A |
| Then as my soul t' heaven her first seat takes flight | A |
| And earth born body in the earth shall dwell | C |
| So fall my sins that all may have their right | A |
| To where they're bred and would press me to hell | C |
| Impute me righteous thus purged of evil | D |
| For thus I leave the world the flesh the devil | D |
John Donne
