Beside A Monstrous Jewish Whore I Lay Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFG FHI

Beside a monstrous Jewish whore I layA
One night we were two corpses side by sideB
And came to dream beside this hired brideB
Of beauty my desire had turned awayA
-
I saw again her native majestyC
Her gaze empowered with a strength and graceD
Her hair a perfumed casque around her faceD
An image that revived the love in meC
-
For I would fervently have kissed your fleshE
From your sweet feet up to your sable hairF
Unrolled the treasure of a deep caressG
-
If on some evening with a simple tearF
o queen of cruelty you had devisedH
To dim the brilliance of those soulless eyesI
