A Last Confession Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADA EFCFGF HIJKLK MNANON| What lively lad most pleasured me | A |
| Of all that with me lay | B |
| I answer that I gave my soul | C |
| And loved in misery | A |
| But had great pleasure with a lad | D |
| That I loved bodily | A |
| - | |
| Flinging from his arms I laughed | E |
| To think his passion such | F |
| He fancied that I gave a soul | C |
| Did but our bodies touch | F |
| And laughed upon his breast to think | G |
| Beast gave beast as much | F |
| - | |
| I gave what other women gave | H |
| That stepped out of their clothes | I |
| But when this soul its body off | J |
| Naked to naked goes | K |
| He it has found shall find therein | L |
| What none other knows | K |
| - | |
| And give his own and take his own | M |
| And rule in his own right | N |
| And though it loved in misery | A |
| Close and cling so tight | N |
| There's not a bird of day that dare | O |
| Extinguish that delight | N |
