Holy Sonnet Viii: If Faithful Souls Be Alike Glorified Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBBBBCDDEBB| If faithful souls be alike glorified | A |
| As angels then my fathers soul doth see | B |
| And adds this even to full felicity | B |
| That valiantly I hells wide mouth o'erstride | B |
| But if our minds to these souls be descried | B |
| By circumstances and by signs that be | B |
| Apparent in us not immediately | B |
| How shall my mind's white truth by them be tried | B |
| They see idolatrous lovers weep and mourn | C |
| And vile blasphemous conjurers to call | D |
| On Jesus name and Pharisaical | D |
| Dissemblers feigne devotion Then turn | E |
| O pensive soul to God for he knows best | B |
| Thy true grief for he put it in my breast | B |
