Hom. Il. V. 403 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEECD| If thou art tempted by a thought of ill | A |
| Crave not too soon for victory nor deem | B |
| Thou art a coward if thy safety seem | B |
| To spring too little from a righteous will | A |
| For there is nightmare on thee nor until | A |
| Thy soul hath caught the morning's early gleam | B |
| Seek thou to analyze the monstrous dream | B |
| By painful introversion rather fill | A |
| Thine eye with forms thou knowest to be truth | C |
| But see thou cherish higher hope than this | D |
| hope hereafter that thou shall be fit | E |
| Calm eyed to face distortion and to sit | E |
| Transparent among other forms of youth | C |
| Who own no impulse save to God and bliss | D |
