Act V Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCDEFGHIIJKLMNOPQ| MIDNIGHT | A |
| - | |
| First two white arms that held him very close | B |
| And ever closer as he drew him back | C |
| Reluctantly the loose gold colored hair | D |
| A thousand delicate fibers reaching out | E |
| Still to detain him then some twenty steps | F |
| Of iron staircse winding round and down | G |
| And ending in a narrow gallery hung | H |
| With Gobelin tapestries Andromeda | I |
| Rescued by Perseus and the sleek Diana | I |
| With her nymphs bathing at the farther end | J |
| A door that gave upon a starlit grove | K |
| Of citron and clipt palm trees then a path | L |
| As bleached as moonlight with the shadow of leaves | M |
| Stamped black upon it next a vine clad length | N |
| Of solid masonry and last of all | O |
| A Gothic archway packed with night and then | P |
| A sudden gleaming dagger through his heart | Q |
