No. 101 (on His Brother's Death) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEFE| By ways remote and distant waters sped | A |
| Brother to thy sad grave side am I come | B |
| That I may give the last gifts to the dead | A |
| And vainly parley with thine ashes dumb | B |
| Since she who now bestows and now denies | C |
| Hath ta'en thee hapless brother from mine eyes | C |
| But lo these gifts the heirlooms of past years | D |
| Are made sad things to grace thy coffin shell | E |
| Take them all drenched with a brother's tears | F |
| And brother for all time hail and farewell | E |
Gaius Valerius Catullus
