Ougabalys Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFGE BBHAAH AAEAAE AAAEEA| In billow lost Poseidonis | A |
| I was the god Ougabalys | A |
| My three horns were of similor | B |
| Above my double diadem | C |
| My one eye was a moon wan gem | C |
| Found in a monstrous meteor | B |
| - | |
| Incredible far peoples came | D |
| Called by the thunders of my fame | D |
| And fleetly passed my terraced throne | E |
| Where titan pards and lions stood | F |
| As pours a never lapsing flood | G |
| Before the wind of winter blown | E |
| - | |
| Before me many a chorister | B |
| Made offering of alien myrrh | B |
| And copper bearded sailors brought | H |
| From isles of ever foaming seas | A |
| Enormous lumps of ambergris | A |
| And corals intricately wrought | H |
| - | |
| Below my glooming architraves | A |
| One brown eternal file of slaves | A |
| Came in from mines of chalcedon | E |
| And camels from the long plateaux | A |
| Laid down their sard and peridoz | A |
| Their incense and their cinnamon | E |
| - | |
| But now within my sunken walls | A |
| The slow blind ocean serpent crawls | A |
| And sea worms are my ministers | A |
| And wondering fishes pass me now | E |
| Or press before mine eyeless brow | E |
| As once the thronging worshipers | A |
