To Antiochos Epiphanis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJJKLF

The young Antiochian said to the kingA
'My heart pulses with a precious hopeB
The Macedonians Antiochos EpiphanisC
the Macedonians are back in the great fightD
Let them only win and I'll give anyone who wants themE
the lion and the horses the coral PanF
the elegant palace the gardens of TyreG
and everything else you've given me Antiochos Epiphanis 'H
The king may have been moved a littleI
but then he remembered his father his brotherJ
and said nothing an eavesdropperJ
might repeat something they'd saidK
In any case as was to be expectedL
the terrible defeat came swiftly at PydnaF
