Cambion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBA CDCDDC EFEFGE HIHIIH| I am that spawn of witch and demon | A |
| By time's mad prophets long foretold | B |
| The unnamed fear of king and freeman | A |
| I roam the lawless outland wold | B |
| Couching amid the weeds and mould | B |
| With dire Alecto for my leman | A |
| - | |
| I am that hidden piper playing | C |
| The Pan like strains of malefice | D |
| That lure the lonely traveller straying | C |
| Upon the crumbling precipice | D |
| To filmed morass or blind abyss | D |
| His feet must follow never staying | C |
| - | |
| I am that swart unseen pursuer | E |
| Whose lust begets a changeling breed | F |
| All women know me for their wooer | E |
| Mine is the whisper the maidens heed | F |
| At twilight mine the spells that lead | G |
| The matron to the nighted moor | E |
| - | |
| I am that messenger whose call | H |
| Convenes dark mage and banished lord | I |
| And branded witch and whip flayed thrall | H |
| To plot amid the madness poured | I |
| On the black Sabbat's frothing horde | I |
| The bale of realms the planet's fall | H |
