Julian In Nicomedia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDEFDGHIIJIDI

Things impolitic and dangerousA
praise for Greek idealsB
supernatural magic visits to pagan templesC
Enthusiasm for the ancient godsD
Frequent talks with ChrysanthiosD
Speculation with Maximus the astute philosopherE
And look what's happened Gallos is extremely worriedF
Konstantios has become suspiciousD
Julian's advisors weren't at all prudentG
The matter says Mardonios has gone too farH
the talk it has aroused must be stopped at all costI
So Julian goes to the church at NicomediaI
a lector again and thereJ
with deep reverence he reads out loudI
passages from the Holy ScripturesD
and everyone marvels at his Christian pietyI
