Holy Sonnet Viii: If Faithfull Soules Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAABBACDDCAA| If faithfull soules be alike glorifi'd | A |
| As Angels then my fathers soul doth see | B |
| And adds this even to full felecitie | A |
| That valiantly I hels wide mouth o'stride | A |
| But if our mindes to these soules be descry'd | A |
| By circumstances and by signes that be | B |
| Apparent in us not immediately | B |
| How shall my mindes white truth by them be try'd | A |
| They see idolatrous lovers weepe and mourne | C |
| And vile blasphemous Conjurers to call | D |
| On Jesus name and Pharisaicall | D |
| Dissemblers feigne devotion Then turne | C |
| O pensive soule to God for he knows best | A |
| Thy true griefe for he put it in my breast | A |
