Celaeno Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCADDEFFE| The blind king hides his weeping eyeless head | A |
| Sick with the helpless hate and shame and awe | B |
| Till food have choked the glutted hell bird's craw | C |
| And the foul cropful creature lie as dead | A |
| And soil itself with sleep and too much bread | A |
| So the man's life serves under the beast's law | C |
| And things whose spirit lives in mouth and maw | C |
| Share shrieking the soul's board and soil her bed | A |
| Till man's blind spirit their sick slave resign | D |
| Its kingdom to the priests whose souls are swine | D |
| And the scourged serf lie reddening from their rod | E |
| Discrowned disrobed dismantled with lost eyes | F |
| Seeking where lurks in what conjectural skies | F |
| That triple headed hound of hell their God | E |
