The Sum And The Satisfaction Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFGGGHI| Last night I drew up mine account | A |
| And found my debits to amount | A |
| To such a height as for to tell | B |
| How I should pay 's impossible | C |
| Well this I'll do my mighty score | D |
| Thy mercy seat I'll lay before | D |
| But therewithal I'll bring the band | E |
| Which in full force did daring stand | E |
| Till my Redeemer on the tree | F |
| Made void for millions as for me | F |
| Then if thou bidst me pay or go | G |
| Unto the prison I'll say no | G |
| Christ having paid I nothing owe | G |
| For this is sure the debt is dead | H |
| By law the bond once cancelled | I |
