The Cannibal Zeus'a.d. 160 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCDEEF| None elder city doth the Sun behold | A |
| Than ancient Lycosura 'twas begun | B |
| Ere Zeus the meat of mortals learned to shun | B |
| And here hath he a grove whose haunted fold | A |
| The driven deer seek and huntsmen dread 'tis told | A |
| That whoso fares within that forest dun | B |
| Thenceforth shall cast no shadow in the Sun | B |
| Ay and within the year his life is cold | A |
| - | |
| Hard by dwelt he who while the Gods deigned eat | C |
| At good men's tables gave them dreadful meat | C |
| A child he slew his mountain altar green | D |
| Here still hath Zeus with rites untold of me | E |
| Piteous but as they are let these things be | E |
| And as from the beginning they have been | F |
