Rhyme Scheme: ABA BCB DEC EFE FGFG| She charged me with having said this and that | A |
| To another woman long years before | B |
| In the very parlour where we sat | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| Sat on a night when the endless pour | B |
| Of rain on the roof and the road below | C |
| Bent the spring of the spirit more and more | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| So charged she me and the Cupids bow | D |
| Of her mouth was hard and her eyes and her face | E |
| And her white forefinger lifted slow | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| Had she done it gently or shown a trace | E |
| That not too curiously would she view | F |
| A folly passed ere her reign had place | E |
| - | |
| - | |
| A kiss might have ended it But I knew | F |
| From the fall of each word and the pause between | G |
| That the curtain would drop upon us two | F |
| Ere long in our play of slave and queen | G |
