Indolence
editI found the poem Indolence at play.google.com and noticed it is not a blank verse but heroic couplet. Of course, the measure (iambic pentameter) is the same but there are regular rhymes in Dorothea Celesia's work.
- Let loftier Poets touch a bolder string,
- Hail, Indolence, thy powerful charms I sing;
- In soothing strains majestically flow,
- O teach these numbers without art to flow!
- May they steal gently thro' each tranquil breast.
- And lull by soft degrees the Soul to rest.
In blank verse rhymes occur only at the end of a paragraph or a scene in a drama. (Anagram16 (talk) 15:44, 12 February 2017 (UTC))
- Oh good grief! This is what comes from not checking sources. Thanks! — scribblingwoman 18:03, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
