Praise And Prayer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEFG HIHI| Praise is devotion fit for mighty minds | A |
| The diff'ring world's agreeing sacrifice | B |
| Where Heaven divided faiths united finds | A |
| But Prayer in various discord upward flies | C |
| - | |
| For Prayer the ocean is where diversely | D |
| Men steer their course each to a sev'ral coast | E |
| Where all our interests so discordant be | F |
| That half beg winds by which the rest are lost | G |
| - | |
| By Penitence when we ourselves forsake | H |
| 'Tis but in wise design on piteous Heaven | I |
| In Praise we nobly give what God may take | H |
| And are without a beggar's blush forgiven | I |
