Epitaph On An Army Of Mercenaries Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD

These in the day when heaven was fallingA
The hour when earth's foundations fledB
Followed their mercenary callingA
And took their wages and are deadB
-
Their shoulders held the sky suspendedC
They stood and earth's foundations stayD
What God abandoned these defendedC
And saved the sum of things for payD
