The slang used in this stanza is most likely intended to be a reflection of the language of the times it was written in.
In poetry, a stanza from Italian stanza [ˈstantsa], "room") is a group of lines within a poem, usually set off from others by a blank line or indentation.Stanzas can have regular rhyme and metrical schemes, though stanzas are not strictly required to have either. There are many unique forms of stanzas. Some stanzaic forms are simple, such as four-line quatrains. Other forms are more complex, such as the Spenserian stanza. Fixed verse poems, such as sestinas, can be defined by the number and form of their stanzas. The term stanza is similar to strophe, though strophe sometimes refers to an irregular set of lines, as opposed to regular, rhymed stanzas.
The stanza in poetry is analogous with the paragraph that is seen in prose; related thoughts are grouped into units.The stanza has also been known by terms such as batch, fit, and stave. Even though the term "stanza" is taken from Italian, in the Italian language the word "strofa" is more commonly used.[citation needed] In music, groups of lines are typically referred to as verses.
