The Christian Militant Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCCCDDEEFGHI| A man prepar'd against all ills to come | A |
| That dares to dead the fire of martyrdom | A |
| That sleeps at home and sailing there at ease | B |
| Fears not the fierce sedition of the seas | B |
| That's counter proof against the farm's mishaps | C |
| Undreadful too of courtly thunderclaps | C |
| That wears one face like heaven and never shows | C |
| A change when fortune either comes or goes | C |
| That keeps his own strong guard in the despite | D |
| Of what can hurt by day or harm by night | D |
| That takes and re delivers every stroke | E |
| Of chance as made up all of rock and oak | E |
| That sighs at others' death smiles at his own | F |
| Most dire and horrid crucifixion | G |
| Who for true glory suffers thus we grant | H |
| Him to be here our Christian militant | I |
