Saint John Baptist Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACABDEFDGF| The last and greatest Herald of Heaven's King | A |
| Girt with rough skins hies to the deserts wild | B |
| Among that savage brood the woods forth bring | A |
| Which he than man more harmless found and mild | B |
| His food was locusts and what young doth spring | A |
| With honey that from virgin hives distill'd | C |
| Parch'd body hollow eyes some uncouth thing | A |
| Made him appear long since from earth exiled | B |
| There burst he forth 'All ye whose hopes rely | D |
| On God with me amidst these deserts mourn | E |
| Repent repent and from old errors turn ' | F |
| Who listen'd to his voice obey'd his cry | D |
| Only the echoes which he made relent | G |
| Rung from their marble caves 'Repent Repent ' | F |
