The Celibate

No image of himself Too near in time Shrunk back from, in cowering This o'erpowering. As what aged, bent, but for Which missed chance, o'er Love's, shows remorse so pronounced. A life denounced!

Is this a particular form? Vaguely similar to some of the Welsh and Irish forms I’ve been looking at recently
