The speaker does the same. Poetic Devices: Religious imagery crucifix, cross, ?Body of the Christ,? creed, server-lad (shown before the cross because people are the more important religion, especially the common person) the speaker?s disenchantment with religion Sonnet Slight volta at line 9 when the speaker begins to reference himself Switch in rhyme scheme from Shakespearean to Petrarchan Breaks the meter in ?brown hands? and ?warm live hand? --> because the hands have more emphasis than the cross because again, people > religion
