Holy Sonnet Vi: This Is My Playes Last Scene Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACACCC| This is my playes last scene here heavens appoint | A |
| My pilgrimages last mile and my race | B |
| Idly yet quickly runne hath this last pace | B |
| My spans last inch my minutes latest point | A |
| And gluttonous death will instantly unjoynt | A |
| My body and soule and I shall sleepe a space | B |
| But my'ever waking part shall see that face | B |
| Whose feare already shakes my every joynt | A |
| Then as my soule to'heaven her first seate takes flight | A |
| And earth borne body in the earth shall dwell | C |
| So fall my sinnes that all may have their right | A |
| To where they're bred and would presse me to hell | C |
| Impute me righteous thus purg'd of evill | C |
| For thus I leave the world the flesh the devill | C |
