Homeric Unity Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBABC DEDEDE| The sacred keep of Ilion is rent | A |
| By shaft and pit foiled waters wander slow | B |
| Through plains where Simois and Scamander went | A |
| To war with Gods and heroes long ago | B |
| Not yet to tired Cassandra lying low | B |
| In rich Mycenae do the Fates relent | A |
| The bones of Agamemnon are a show | B |
| And ruined is his royal monument | C |
| - | |
| The dust and awful treasures of the Dead | D |
| Hath Learning scattered wide but vainly thee | E |
| Homer she meteth with her tool of lead | D |
| And strives to rend thy songs too blind to see | E |
| The crown that burns on thine immortal head | D |
| Of indivisible supremacy | E |
