Cameos Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDEED| The graver by Apollo's shrine | A |
| Before the Gods had fled would stand | B |
| A shell or onyx in his hand | B |
| To copy there the face divine | A |
| Till earnest touches line by line | A |
| Had wrought the wonder of the land | B |
| Within a beryl's golden band | B |
| Or on some fiery opal fine | A |
| Ah would that as some ancient ring | C |
| To us on shell or stone doth bring | C |
| Art's marvels perished long ago | D |
| So I within the sonnet's space | E |
| The large Hellenic lines might trace | E |
| The statue in the cameo | D |
