How does the author’s use of stanzas affect the meaning of “a thousand martyrs”? use evidence from the poem to support your response. at least one complete paragraph.
the poem:
a thousand martyrs by aphra behn

a thousand martyrs i have made,
all sacrificed to my desire;
a thousand beauties have betrayed,
that languish in resistless fire.
the untamed heart to hand i brought,
and fixed the wild and wandering thought.
i never vowed nor sighed in vain
but both, though false, were well received.
the fair are to give us pain,
and what they wish is soon believed.
and though i talked of wounds and smart,
love’s pleasures only touched my heart.
alone the glory and the spoil
i always laughing bore away;
the triumphs, without pain or toil,
without the hell, the heav’n of joy.
and while i thus at random rove
despise the fools that whine for love.
