The Burden Of Austria Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDEED| O daughter of pride wasted with misery | A |
| With all the glory that thy shame put on | B |
| Stripped off thy shame O daughter of Babylon | B |
| Yea whoso be it yea happy shall he be | A |
| That as thou hast served us hath rewarded thee | A |
| Blessed who throweth against war's boundary stone | C |
| Thy warrior brood and breaketh bone by bone | C |
| Misrule thy son thy daughter Tyranny | A |
| That landmark shalt thou not remove for shame | D |
| But sitting down there in a widow's weed | E |
| Wail for what fruit is now of thy red fame | D |
| Have thy sons too and daughters learnt indeed | E |
| What thing it is to weep what thing to bleed | E |
| Is it not thou that now art but a name | D |
