Helen On The Walls'(iliad, Iii. 146.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| Fair Helen to the Scaean portals came | A |
| Where sat the elders peers of Priamus | B |
| Thymoetas Hiketaon Panthous | B |
| And many another of a noble name | A |
| Famed warriors now in council more of fame | A |
| Always above the gates in converse thus | B |
| They chattered like cicalas garrulous | B |
| Who marking Helen swore it is no shame | A |
| That armed Achaean knights and Ilian men | C |
| For such a woman's sake should suffer long | D |
| Fair as a deathless goddess seemeth she | E |
| Nay but aboard the red prowed ships again | C |
| Home let her pass in peace not working wrong | D |
| To us and children's children yet to be | E |
