Good Men Afflicted Most Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDDDEFDD| God makes not good men wantons but doth bring | A |
| Them to the field and there to skirmishing | A |
| With trials those with terrors these He proves | B |
| And hazards those most whom the most He loves | C |
| For Sceva darts for Cocles dangers thus | D |
| He finds a fire for mighty Mutius | D |
| Death for stout Cato and besides all these | D |
| A poison too He has for Socrates | D |
| Torments for high Attilius and with want | E |
| Brings in Fabricius for a combatant | F |
| But bastard slips and such as He dislikes | D |
| He never brings them once to th' push of pikes | D |
