Sonnets Upon The Punishment Of Death - In Series, 1839 -- Viii - Fit Retribution, By The Moral Code Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDEAFGHGFHFit retribution by the moral code | A |
Determined lies beyond the State's embrace | B |
Yet as she may for each peculiar case | B |
She plants well measured terrors in the road | A |
Of wrongful acts Downward it is and broad | C |
And the main fear once doomed to banishment | D |
Far oftener then bad ushering worse event | E |
Blood would be spilt that in his dark abode | A |
Crime might lie better hid And should the change | F |
Take from the horror due to a foul deed | G |
Pursuit and evidence so far must fail | H |
And guilt escaping passion then might plead | G |
In angry spirits for her old free range | F |
And the wild justice of revenge prevail | H |
