Forbearance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BBCCDDEEAAFFFFAA| Beareth all things Cor xiii | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| Gently I took that which ungently came | B |
| And without scorn forgave Do thou the same | B |
| A wrong done to thee think a cat's eye spark | C |
| Thou wouldst not see were not thine own heart dark | C |
| Thine own keen sense of wrong that thirsts for sin | D |
| Fear that the spark self kindled from within | D |
| Which blown upon will blind thee with its glare | E |
| Or smother'd stifle thee with noisome air | E |
| Clap on the extinguisher pull up the blinds | A |
| And soon the ventilated spirit finds | A |
| Its natural daylight If a foe have kenn'd | F |
| Or worse than foe an alienated friend | F |
| A rib of dry rot in thy ship's stout side | F |
| Think it God's message and in humble pride | F |
| With heart of oak replace it thine the gains | A |
| Give him the rotten timber for his pains | A |
