Feelings Of A Republican On The Fall Of Bonaparte Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDCDEFEFGG| I hated thee fallen tyrant I did groan | A |
| To think that a most unambitious slave | B |
| Like thou shouldst dance and revel on the grave | B |
| Of Liberty Thou mightst have built thy throne | A |
| Where it had stood even now thou didst prefer | C |
| A frail and bloody pomp which Time has swept | D |
| In fragments towards Oblivion Massacre | C |
| For this I prayed would on thy sleep have crept | D |
| Treason and Slavery Rapine Fear and Lust | E |
| And stifled thee their minister I know | F |
| Too late since thou and France are in the dust | E |
| That Virtue owns a more eternal foe | F |
| Than Force or Fraud old Custom legal Crime | G |
| And bloody Faith the foulest birth of Time | G |
