Oh My Blacke Soule! Now Thou Art Summoned Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBCDBDBCC| Oh my black Soule Now thou art summoned | A |
| By sicknesse deaths herald and champion | B |
| Thou art like a pilgrim which abroad hath done | B |
| Treason and durst not turne to whence hee is fled | C |
| Or like a thiefe which till deaths doome be read | C |
| Wisheth himselfe deliverd from prison | B |
| But damn'd and hal'd to execution | B |
| Wisheth that sill he might be imprisioned | C |
| Yet grace if thou repent thou canst not lacke | D |
| But who shall give thee that grace to beginne | B |
| Oh make thy selfe with holy mourning blacke | D |
| And red with blushing as thou art with sinne | B |
| Or wash thee in Christ's blood which hath this might | C |
| That being red it dyes red soules to white | C |
