Damætas Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGIn law an infant and in years a boy | A |
In mind a slave to every vicious joy | A |
From every sense of shame and virtue wean'd | B |
In lies an adept in deceit a fiend | B |
Vers'd in hypocrisy while yet a child | C |
Fickle as wind of inclinations wild | C |
Woman his dupe his heedless friend a tool | D |
Old in the world though scarcely broke from school | D |
Dam tas ran through all the maze of sin | E |
And found the goal when others just begin | E |
Ev'n still conflicting passions shake his soul | F |
And bid him drain the dregs of Pleasure's bowl | F |
But pall'd with vice he breaks his former chain | G |
And what was once his bliss appears his bane | G |
George Gordon Lord Byron
