Epilogue Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHGIGIIJ| With quiet heart I climbed the hill | A |
| from which one can see the city complete | B |
| hospitals brothels purgatory hell | C |
| prison where every sin flowers at our feet | B |
| You know well Satan patron of my distress | D |
| I did not trudge up there to vainly weep | E |
| but like an old man with an old mistress | F |
| I longed to intoxicate myself with the infernal delight | G |
| of the vast procuress who can always make things fresh | H |
| Whether you still sleep in the morning light | G |
| heavy dark rheumatic or whether your hands | I |
| flutter in your pure gold edged veils of night | G |
| I love you infamous capital Courtesans | I |
| and pimps you often offer pleasures | I |
| the vulgar mob will never understand | J |
