Undesired Revenge Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCA DEEDFFD GHHGIIJ| Sorrow and sin have worked their will | A |
| For years upon your sovereign face | B |
| And yet it keeps a faded trace | B |
| Of its unequalled beauty still | A |
| As ruined sanctuaries hold | C |
| A crumbled trace of perfect mould | C |
| In shrines which saints no longer fill | A |
| - | |
| I knew you in your splendid morn | D |
| Oh how imperiously sweet | E |
| I bowed and worshipped at your feet | E |
| And you received my love with scorn | D |
| Now I scorn you It is a change | F |
| When I consider it how strange | F |
| That you not I should be forlorn | D |
| - | |
| Do you suppose I have no pain | G |
| To see you play this sorry part | H |
| With faded face and broken heart | H |
| And life lived utterly in vain | G |
| Oh would to God that you once more | I |
| Might scorn me as you did of yore | I |
| And I might worship you again | J |
