To The Lady Magdalen Herbert, Of St. Mary Magdalen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGFHAHIJJ| HER of your name whose fair inheritance | A |
| Bethina was and jointure Magdalo | B |
| An active faith so highly did advance | C |
| That she once knew more than the Church did know | D |
| The Resurrection so much good there is | E |
| Deliver'd of her that some Fathers be | F |
| Loth to believe one woman could do this | G |
| But think these Magdalens were two or three | F |
| Increase their number Lady and their fame | H |
| To their devotion add your innocence | A |
| Take so much of th' example as of the name | H |
| The latter half and in some recompense | I |
| That they did harbour Christ Himself a guest | J |
| Harbour these hymns to His dear Name address'd | J |
