France Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCAADDEEFFGG| Unhappy State with horrors still to strive | A |
| Thy Hugo dead thy Boulanger alive | A |
| A Prince who'd govern where he dares not dwell | B |
| And who for power would his birthright sell | B |
| Who anxious o'er his enemies to reign | C |
| Grabs at the scepter and conceals the chain | C |
| While pugnant factions mutually strive | A |
| By cutting throats to keep the land alive | A |
| Perverse in passion as in pride perverse | D |
| To all a mistress to thyself a curse | D |
| Sweetheart of Europe every sun's embrace | E |
| Matures the charm and poison of thy grace | E |
| Yet time to thee nor peace nor wisdom brings | F |
| In blood of citizens and blood of kings | F |
| The stones of thy stability are set | G |
| And the fair fabric trembles at a threat | G |
