Holy Sonnet Xi: Spit In My Face You Jews, And Pierce My Side Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAAACADAEAFFSpit in my face you Jews and pierce my side | A |
Buffet and scoff scourge and crucify me | B |
For I have sinned and sinned and only he | B |
Who could do no iniquity hath died | A |
But by my death can not be satisfied | A |
My sins which pass the Jews' impiety | A |
They killed once an inglorious man but I | C |
Crucify him daily being now glorified | A |
Oh let me then his strange love still admire | D |
Kings pardon but he bore our punishment | A |
And Jacob came clothed in vile harsh attire | E |
But to supplant and with gainful intent | A |
God clothed himself in vile man's flesh that so | F |
He might be weak enough to suffer woe | F |
