Feelings Of A French Royalist, On The Disinterment Of The Remains Of The Duke D'enghien Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADDEFFE| Dear Reliques from a pit of vilest mould | A |
| Uprisen to lodge among ancestral kings | B |
| And to inflict shame's salutary stings | B |
| On the remorseless hearts of men grown old | A |
| In a blind worship men perversely bold | A |
| Even to this hour yet some shall now forsake | C |
| Their monstrous Idol if the dead e'er spake | C |
| To warn the living if truth were ever told | A |
| By aught redeemed out of the hollow grave | D |
| O murdered Prince meek loyal pious brave | D |
| The power of retribution once was given | E |
| But 'tis a rueful thought that willow bands | F |
| So often tie the thunder wielding hands | F |
| Of Justice sent to earth from highest Heaven | E |
