Twin-born Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBBCBBCBB| He who possesses virtue at its best | A |
| Or greatness in the true sense of the word | B |
| Has one day started even with that herd | B |
| Whose swift feet now speed but at sin's behest | A |
| It is the same force in the human breast | A |
| Which makes men gods or demons If we gird | B |
| Those strong emotions by which we are stirred | B |
| With might of will and purpose heights unguessed | B |
| Shall dawn for us or if we give them sway | C |
| We can sink down and consort with the lost | B |
| All virtue is worth just the price it cost | B |
| Black sin is oft white truth that missed its way | C |
| And wandered off in paths not understood | B |
| Twin born I hold great evil and great good | B |
