Beside A Monstrous Jewish Whore I Lay Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFG FHI| Beside a monstrous Jewish whore I lay | A |
| One night we were two corpses side by side | B |
| And came to dream beside this hired bride | B |
| Of beauty my desire had turned away | A |
| - | |
| I saw again her native majesty | C |
| Her gaze empowered with a strength and grace | D |
| Her hair a perfumed casque around her face | D |
| An image that revived the love in me | C |
| - | |
| For I would fervently have kissed your flesh | E |
| From your sweet feet up to your sable hair | F |
| Unrolled the treasure of a deep caress | G |
| - | |
| If on some evening with a simple tear | F |
| o queen of cruelty you had devised | H |
| To dim the brilliance of those soulless eyes | I |
