Punctuation?

Hi, I was just wondering if someone could tell me if these two sentances are correctly punctuated?

In verse, I have sought a futile dream,
To enchant an alabaster heart,
To find my soul amid shadow-seas,
And immortalise a man’s beauty.
For I have grown weary of this world
Where life itself is nought but sorrow
And joy a most delicious poison
That eludes all men who are of wit.

Thanks in advance!
Emma

As I explained before, modern practice is to capitalize as with prose, not at the beginning of each line.

Apart from that, is it alright?

So basically, I've just to treat it exactly as if it were prose? Perhaps even writing out as such? Then obviously splitting up into verses... ?

Thanks you!
