Villon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABAC BDEFDFD| They threw me from the gates my matted hair | A |
| Was dank with dungeon wetness my spent frame | B |
| O'erlaid with marish agues everywhere | A |
| Tortured by leaping pangs of frost and flame | B |
| So hideous was I that even Lazarus there | A |
| In noisome rags arrayed and leprous shame | B |
| Beside me set had seemed full sweet and fair | A |
| And looked on me with loathing | C |
| - | |
| But one came | B |
| Who laid a cloak on me and brought me in | D |
| Tenderly to an hostel quiet and clean | E |
| Used me with healing hands for all my needs | F |
| The mortal stain of my reputed sin | D |
| My state despised and my defil d weeds | F |
| He hath put by as though they had not been | D |
