Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDBAEEFGFGMORE yet and more and yet we mark not all | A |
The Warning fain to bid fair women heed | B |
Its hard brief note of deadly doom and deed | B |
The verse that strewed too thick with flowers the hall | A |
Whence Nero watched his fiery festival | C |
That iron page wherein men s eyes who read | D |
See bruised and marred between two babes that bleed | B |
A mad red handed husband s martyr fall | A |
The scene which crossed and streaked with mirth the strife | E |
Of Henry with his sons and witchlike wife | E |
And that sweet pageant of the kindly fiend | F |
Who seeing three friends in spirit and heart made one | G |
Crowned with good hap the true love wiles he screened | F |
In the pleached lanes of pleasant Edmonton | G |
