Milton: But In The Wine-presses The Human Grapes Sing Not Nor Dance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFG HIJKK| But in the Wine presses the human grapes sing not nor dance | A |
| They howl and writhe in shoals of torment in fierce flames consuming | B |
| In chains of iron and in dungeons circled with ceaseless fires | C |
| In pits and dens and shades of death in shapes of torment and woe | D |
| The plates and screws and racks and saws and cords and fires and cisterns | E |
| The cruel joys of Luvah's Daughters lacerating with knives | F |
| And whips their victims and the deadly sport of Luvah's Sons | G |
| - | |
| They dance around the dying and they drink the howl and groan | H |
| They catch the shrieks in cups of gold they hand them to one another | I |
| These are the sports of love and these the sweet delights of amorous play | J |
| Tears of the grape the death sweat of the cluster the last sigh | K |
| Of the mild youth who listens to the luring songs of Luvah | K |
