Byron Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBABDEEFDE| He was a god descended from the skies | A |
| To fight the fight of Freedom o'er a grave | B |
| And consecrate a hope he could not save | B |
| For he was weak withal and foolish wise | A |
| Dark were his thoughts and strange his destinies | C |
| And oftentimes his life he did deprave | B |
| But all do pity him though none despise | A |
| He was a prince of song though sorrow's slave | B |
| He ask'd for tears and they were tinged with fire | D |
| He ask'd for love and love was sold to him | E |
| He look'd for solace at the goblet's brim | E |
| And found it not then wept upon his lyre | F |
| He sang the songs of all the world's desire | D |
| He wears the wreath no rivalry can dim | E |
