Archimedes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGHH| To Archimedes once a scholar came | A |
| Teach me he said the art that won thy fame | A |
| The godlike art which gives such boons to toil | B |
| And showers such fruit upon thy native soil | B |
| The godlike art that girt the town when all | C |
| Rome's vengeance burst in thunder on the wall | C |
| Thou call'st art godlike it is so in truth | D |
| And was replied the master to the youth | D |
| Ere yet its secrets were applied to use | E |
| Ere yet it served beleaguered Syracuse | F |
| Ask'st thou from art but what the art is worth | G |
| The fruit for fruit go cultivate the earth | G |
| He who the goddess would aspire unto | H |
| Must not the goddess as the woman woo | H |
Friedrich Schiller
