The Invective Of Achilles--v. 225 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEGEEEHCIJCCKEL| 'Bibber besotted with scowl of a cur having heart of a deer thou | A |
| Never to join to thy warriors armed for the press of the conflict | B |
| Never for ambush forth with the princeliest sons of Achaia | C |
| Dared thy soul for to thee that thing would have looked as a death stroke | D |
| Sooth more easy it seems down the lengthened array of Achaians | E |
| Snatch at the prize of the one whose voice has been lifted against thee | F |
| Ravening king of the folk for that thou hast thy rule over abjects | E |
| Else son of Atreus now were this outrage on me thy last one | G |
| Nay but I tell thee and I do swear a big oath on it likewise | E |
| Yea by the sceptre here and it surely bears branches and leaf buds | E |
| Never again since first it was lopped from its trunk on the mountains | E |
| No more sprouting for round it all clean has the sharp metal clipped off | H |
| Leaves and the bark ay verify now do the sons of Achaia | C |
| Guardian hands of the counsels of Zeus pronouncing the judgement | I |
| Hold it aloft so now unto thee shall the oath have its portent | J |
| Loud will the cry for Achilles burst from the sons of Achaia | C |
| Throughout the army and thou chafe powerless though in an anguish | C |
| How to give succour when vast crops down under man slaying Hector | K |
| Tumble expiring and thou deep in thee shalt tear at thy heart strings | E |
| Rage wrung thou that in nought thou didst honour the flower of Achaians ' | L |
