Poem Title:
Poem
Pyramus was the handsome young man Thisbe the fair maiden of Babylon Both the parents’ houses did adjoin Neighborhood brought the two in relation. And the acquaintance ripened into love And the fire within them burnt with bright glow Would have married, but their parents forbid Ardor in hearts of both they couldn’t forbid They did converse by signs one can think of The fire within them burnt like glow covered But Venus won’t always befriend true love. They found crack in wall that parted the houses In spared passage for tender messages Caused by fault in the wall of the mansion What will not love find for satisfaction!!. They passed the tender messages of love As the night fell they said farewell with awe Moving backward and forward through the gap She on her side, he on his, kissed the gap. One morn the sun put out the stars above From the watchful eyes, they tried to slipup But Venus won’t always befriend true love. ------------------------------------------------------ This is the first part of the poem as I could not post it in this single post. The poem has five stanzas of 11 lines and an envoi of five lines. Chant royal [shahn rwa-yal], A French verse form normally consisting of five stanzas of eleven 10-syllable lines rhyming ababccddede, followed by an envoi (or half-stanza) rhyming ddede. The last line of the first stanza is repeated as a refrain at the end of the succeeding stanzas and of the envoi. The pattern is similar to that of the ballade, but even more demanding.
