Doth Then The World Go Thus? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCBACBDEDEFF| Doth then the world go thus doth all thus move | A |
| Is this the justice which on earth we find | B |
| Is this that firm decree which all doth bind | B |
| Are these your influences Powers above | C |
| Those souls which vice's moody mists most blind | B |
| Blind Fortune blindly most their friend doth prove | A |
| And they who thee poor idol Virtue love | C |
| Ply like a feather tossed by storm and wind | B |
| Ah if a Providence doth sway this all | D |
| Why should best minds groan under most distress | E |
| Or why should pride humility make thrall | D |
| And injuries the innocent oppress | E |
| Heavens hinder stop this fate or grant a time | F |
| When good may have as well as bad their prime | F |
