The Favour Of Alexander Valas Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGFHI| I'm not in the least put out that my chariot wheel broke | A |
| and I lost that silly race | B |
| I'll drink great wines the whole night | C |
| lying among lovely roses Antioch is all mine | D |
| I'm the most celebrated young man in town | E |
| Valas' weakness he simply adores me | F |
| You'll see tomorrow they'll say the race wasn't fair | G |
| though if I'd been crude enough to insist on it secretly | F |
| the flatterers would have given first place even to my limping | H |
| chariot | I |
