Modern Love Xxxiii: In Paris, At The Louvre Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFGHCCH

'In Paris at the Louvre there have I seenA
The sumptuously feathered angel pierceB
Prone Lucifer descending Looked he fierceB
Showing the fight a fair one Too sereneA
The young Pharsalians did not disarrayC
Less willingly their locks of floating silkD
That suckling mouth of his upon the milkD
Of heaven might still be feasting through the frayC
Oh Raphael when men the Fiend do fightE
They conquer not upon such easy termsF
Half serpent in the struggle grow these wormsF
And does he grow half human all is right 'G
This to my Lady in a distant spotH
Upon the theme While mind is mastering clayC
Gross clay invades it If the spy you playC
My wife read this Strange love talk is it notH
