A Convent Wothout God Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDADA DEFDEF| A prison is a convent without God | A |
| Poverty Chastity Obedience | B |
| Its precepts are In this austere abode | C |
| None gather wealth of pleasure or of pence | D |
| Woman's light wit the heart's concupiscence | D |
| Are banished here At the least warder's nod | A |
| Thy neck shall bend in mute subservience | D |
| Nor yet for virtue rather for the rod | A |
| - | |
| Here a base turnkey novice master is | D |
| Teaching humility The matin bell | E |
| Calls thee to toil but little comforteth | F |
| None heed thy prayers or give the kiss of peace | D |
| Nathless my soul be valiant Even in Hell | E |
| Wisdom shall preach to thee of life and death | F |
