Fragment From Aeschylus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBECFGBHIJ| The man who rightly acts without coercion | A |
| Will not be grieved can never wholly sink in wretchedness | B |
| While the lawless criminal is forcibly dragged under | C |
| In the current of time when from the shattered mast | D |
| The elements rip down his sails | B |
| He shouts there is no ear to hear him | E |
| Struggling hopeless at the maelstrom's center | C |
| Gods laugh at the transgressor now | F |
| Watching him his pride now wrecked | G |
| Caught in desperation's shackles | B |
| He flees the rocks in vain | H |
| His fortunes smash on retribution's reef | I |
| And unmourned he is engulfed | J |
