You'd Entertain The Universe In Bed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGH IJKLMNOPQ RYou'd entertain the universe in bed | A |
Foul woman ennui makes you mean of soul | B |
To exercise your jaws at this strange sport | C |
Each day you work a heart between your teeth | D |
Your eyes illuminated like boutiques | E |
Or blazing stanchions at a public fair | F |
Use haughtily a power not their own | G |
With no awareness of their beauty's law | H |
- | |
Blind deaf machine fertile in cruelties | I |
Valuable tool that drinks the whole world's blood | J |
Why are you not ashamed how have you not | K |
In mirrors seen your many charms turn pale | L |
The magnitude of all your evil schemes | M |
Has this then never shrunk your heart with fear | N |
When Nature mighty in her secret plans | O |
Makes use of you o woman queen of sins | P |
Of you vile beast to mould a genius | Q |
- | |
O filthy grandeur o sublime disgrace | R |
Charles Baudelaire
