Sonnet V Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDECFGGFHHDid then the bold Slave rear at last the Sword | A |
Of Vengeance drench'd he deep its thirsty blade | B |
In the cold bosom of his tyrant lord | A |
Oh who shall blame him thro' the midnight shade | B |
Still o'er his tortur'd memory rush'd the thought | C |
Of every past delight his native grove | D |
Friendship's best joys and Liberty and Love | E |
All lost for ever then Remembrance wrought | C |
His soul to madness round his restless bed | F |
Freedom's pale spectre stalk'd with a stern smile | G |
Pointing the wounds of slavery the while | G |
She shook her chains and hung her sullen head | F |
No more on Heaven he calls with fruitless breath | H |
But sweetens with revenge the draught of death | H |
