At Verona Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBA DDBEFEHow steep the stairs within Kings' houses are | A |
For exile wearied feet as mine to tread | B |
And O how salt and bitter is the bread | B |
Which falls from this Hound's table better far | A |
That I had died in the red ways of war | C |
Or that the gate of Florence bare my head | B |
Than to live thus by all things comraded | B |
Which seek the essence of my soul to mar | A |
- | |
'Curse God and die what better hope than this | D |
He hath forgotten thee in all the bliss | D |
Of his gold city and eternal day' | B |
Nay peace behind my prison's blinded bars | E |
I do possess what none can take away | F |
My love and all the glory of the stars | E |
