The Quality Of Mercy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJIKLM| The quality of mercy is not strain'd | A |
| It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven | B |
| Upon the place beneath It is twice blest | C |
| It blesseth him that gives and him that takes | D |
| 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest it becomes | E |
| The throned monarch better than his crown | F |
| His scepter shows the force of temporal power | G |
| The attribute to awe and majesty | H |
| Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings | I |
| But mercy is above this sceptered sway | J |
| It is enthroned in the heart of kings | I |
| It is an attribute to God himself | K |
| And earthly power doth then show likest God's | L |
| When mercy seasons justice | M |
William Shakespeare
