Holy Sonnet Xi: Spit In My Face You Jews, And Pierce My Side Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAAACADAEAFF| Spit 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 |
