Holy Sonnet Xvi: Father Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAABCAADADAA| Father part of his double interest | A |
| Unto thy kingdome thy Sonne gives to mee | B |
| His joynture in the knottie Trinitie | A |
| Hee keepes and gives to me his deaths conquest | A |
| This Lambe whose death with life the world hath blest | A |
| Was from the worlds beginning slaine and he | B |
| Hath made two Wills which with the Legacie | C |
| Of his and thy kingdome doe thy Sonnes invest | A |
| Yet such are thy laws that men argue yet | A |
| Whether a man those statutes can fulfill | D |
| None doth but all healing grace and spirit | A |
| Revive againe what law and letter kill | D |
| Thy lawes abridgement and thy last command | A |
| Is all but love Oh let this last Will stand | A |
