Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFGGHHIIJJGG

The Sages of old time well worth our ownA
Believed and it has been disproved by noneB
That destinies in Heaven written areC
And every soul depends upon a starC
Many have mocked without rememberingD
That laughter oft is a misguiding thingD
This explanation of night's mysteryE
Now all that born beneath Saturnus beE
Red planet to the necromancer dearF
Inherit ancient magic books make clearF
Good share of spleen good share of wretchednessG
Imagination wakeful vigorlessG
In them makes the resolves of reason vainH
The blood within them subtle as a baneH
Burning as lava scarce flows ever fraughtI
With sad ideals that ever come to naughtI
Such must Saturnians suffer such must dieJ
If so that death destruction doth implyJ
Their lives being ordered in this dismal senseG
By logic of a malign InfluenceG

Paul Verlaine
