After The French Liberation Of Italy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDAEFEGHHAS when the last of the paid joys of love | A |
Has come and gone and with a single kiss | B |
At length and with one laugh of satiate bliss | B |
The wearied man a minute rests above | A |
The wearied woman no more urged to move | C |
In those long throes of longing till they glide | D |
Now lightlier clasped each to the other's side | D |
In joys past acting not past dreaming of | A |
So Europe now beneath this paramour | E |
Lies for a little out of use full oft | F |
Submissive to his lust a loveless whore | E |
He wakes she sleeps the breath falls slow and soft | G |
Wait the bought body holds a birth within | H |
An harlot's child to scourge her for her sin | H |
