Upon The Bishop Of Lincoln's Imprisonment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFFGGEEGGHHIH JJ| Never was day so over sick with showers | A |
| But that it had some intermitting hours | A |
| Never was night so tedious but it knew | B |
| The last watch out and saw the dawning too | B |
| Never was dungeon so obscurely deep | C |
| Wherein or light or day did never peep | C |
| Never did moon so ebb or seas so wane | D |
| But they left hope seed to fill up again | E |
| So you my lord though you have now your stay | F |
| Your night your prison and your ebb you may | F |
| Spring up afresh when all these mists are spent | G |
| And star like once more gild our firmament | G |
| Let but that mighty C sar speak and then | E |
| All bolts all bars all gates shall cleave as when | E |
| That earthquake shook the house and gave the stout | G |
| Apostles way unshackled to go out | G |
| This as I wish for so I hope to see | H |
| Though you my lord have been unkind to me | H |
| To wound my heart and never to apply | I |
| When you had power the meanest remedy | H |
| Well though my grief by you was gall'd the more | J |
| Yet I bring balm and oil to heal your sore | J |
