Alcaics Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFFGHFEI

So spake the voice and as with a single lifeA
Instinct the whole mass fierce irretainableB
Down on that unsuspecting host sweptC
Down with the fury of winds that all nightD
Upbrimming sapping slowly the dyke at dawnE
Fall through the breach o'er holmstead and harvest andF
Heard roll a deluge while the milkmaidF
Trips i' the dew and remissly guidingG
Morn's first uneven furrow the farmer's boyH
Dreams out his dream so over the multitudeF
Safe tented uncontrolled and unconE
trollably sped the Avenger's furyI
