Helen Of Troy On The Isle Of Rhodes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFE GG

The battles ended ardent Paris deadA
Of faithful Menelaus long bereftB
Time is the only suitor who is leftB
Helen survives with youth and beauty fledA
By hate remembered but by love forgotC
Dethroned and driven from her high estateD
Unhappy Helen feels the lash of FateD
And knows at last an unloved woman's lotC
The Grecian marvel and the Trojan joyE
The world's fair wonder from her palace fliesF
The furies follow and great Helen diesF
A death of horror for the pride of TroyE

Yet Time like Menelaus all forgivesG
Helen immortal in her beauty livesG
