Good And Evil. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHGIJKLGGM| Good thoughts 'tis said are no more than good dreams | A |
| Save they be into action put and that | B |
| On opportunity depends Alas | C |
| If place and power cohered what good were done | D |
| Which else a babe still born has no way here | E |
| But in the womb of good intention fails | F |
| The heart's abortion Ay and thuswise too | G |
| Full many a foul intent in that it has | H |
| No power or place of action is debarred | G |
| A monstrous birth So nature haply does | I |
| In some mysterious way we do not know | J |
| Still hold the balance 'tween the good and ill | K |
| Of thought in action here and we become | L |
| In spite of our own selves full oft indeed | G |
| Dispensers of a higher equity | G |
| Than the bare law of reason would allow | M |
