Hector Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECED| He strode across the schoolroom in July | A |
| Great Hector clanging in his brazen mail | B |
| And all the cringing Greeks with faces pale | B |
| Creaked into jabbering Ks and turned to fly | A |
| Achilles safe because he could not die | A |
| Cheated and won and all the lines grew stale | B |
| The life was gone from out the shabby tale | B |
| And back in Homer's teeth we flung the lie | A |
| - | |
| We fought for Troy behind a mossy wall | C |
| We burned the Grecian ships below a tree | D |
| Ah that great war was forty years ago | E |
| Yet still I know that Hector did not fall | C |
| For when the bell rang truce to friend and foe | E |
| Achilles lying Greek was under me | D |
