The Immortals Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIJ KLMN| I killed them but they would not die | A |
| Yea all the day and all the night | B |
| For them I could not rest or sleep | C |
| Nor guard from them nor hide in flight | B |
| - | |
| Then in my agony I turned | D |
| And made my hands red in their gore | E |
| In vain for faster than I slew | F |
| They rose more cruel than before | E |

| I killed and killed with slaughter mad | G |
| I killed till all my strength was gone | H |
| And still they rose to torture me | I |
| For Devils only die in fun | J |

| In women s smiles and wine s carouse | L |
| I called him Satan Balzebub | M |
| But now I call him dirty louse | N |
