A Lesson In Humility Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBABA CDEFDE| 'Tis time my soul thou shouldst be purged of pride | A |
| What men are these with thee whose ill deeds done | B |
| Make thee thus shrink from them and be denied | A |
| They are but as thou art each mother's son | B |
| A convict in transgression Here is one | B |
| Sayest thou who struck his fellow and he died | A |
| And yet he weeps hot tears Do thy tears run | B |
| This other thieved yet clasps Christ crucified | A |
| - | |
| Where is thy greater virtue Thinkest thou sin | C |
| Is but crime's record on the judgment seat | D |
| Or must thou wait for death to be bowed down | E |
| Oh for a righteous reading which should join | F |
| Thy deeds together in an accusing sheet | D |
| And leave thee if thou couldst to face men's frown | E |
