Temple Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| With His kind mother who partakes thy woe | A |
| Joseph turn back see where your child doth sit | B |
| Blowing yea blowing out those sparks of wit | B |
| Which Himself on the doctors did bestow | A |
| The Word but lately could not speak and lo | A |
| It suddenly speaks wonders whence comes it | B |
| That all which was and all which should be writ | B |
| A shallow seeming child should deeply know | A |
| His Godhead was not soul to His manhood | C |
| Nor had time mellow'd Him to this ripeness | D |
| But as for one which hath a long task 'tis good | C |
| With the sun to begin His business | D |
| He in His age's morning thus began | E |
| By miracles exceeding power of man | E |
