Victor Hugo Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABCDEFGGFHH| Victor the King alive to day not dead | A |
| Behold I bring thee with a subject's hand | B |
| A poor pale wreath the best at my command | B |
| But all unfit to deck so grand a head | A |
| It is the outcome of a neighbour land | B |
| Denounced of thee and spurn'd for many years | C |
| It is the token of a nation's tears | D |
| Which oft has joy'd in thee and shall again | E |
| Love for thy hate applause for thy disdain | F |
| These are the flowers we spread upon thy hearse | G |
| We give thee back to day thy poet curse | G |
| We call thee friend we ratify thy reign | F |
| Kings change their sceptres for a funeral stone | H |
| But thou hast turn'd thy tomb into a throne | H |
