In Alexandria, 31 B.c. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJ| From his village near the outskirts of town | A |
| still dust covered from the journey in | B |
| the peddler arrives And Incense Gum | C |
| The best olive oil Perfume for your hair | D |
| he hawks through the streets But with all the hubbub | E |
| the music the parades who can hear him | F |
| The crowd shoves him drags him along knocks him around | G |
| And when he asks now totally confused What's going on here | H |
| someone tosses him too the huge palace lie | I |
| that Antony is winning in Greece | J |
