Indolence

[edit]

I 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))[reply]

Oh good grief! This is what comes from not checking sources. Thanks! — scribblingwoman 18:03, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of "no footnotes" template

[edit]

As there are now more references and footnotes, I have removed the template added in 2010. Any issues, please let me know! — scribblingwoman 18:04, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
