To His Conscience Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADECAFGAAAAHHAA| Can I not sin but thou wilt be | A |
| My private protonotary | B |
| Can I not woo thee to pass by | C |
| A short and sweet iniquity | A |
| I'll cast a mist and cloud upon | D |
| My delicate transgression | E |
| So utter dark as that no eye | C |
| Shall see the hugg'd impiety | A |
| Gifts blind the wise and bribes do please | F |
| And wind all other witnesses | G |
| And wilt not thou with gold be tied | A |
| To lay thy pen and ink aside | A |
| That in the mirk and tongueless night | A |
| Wanton I may and thou not write | A |
| It will not be And therefore now | H |
| For times to come I'll make this vow | H |
| From aberrations to live free | A |
| So I'll not fear the judge or thee | A |
