Lasting Fame. Iii-30 (from The Odes Of Horace) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFGAHBAHHG| A monument outlasting brass I have builded | A |
| Higher than pyramids in their crumbling glory | B |
| That no devouring storm nor futile North wind | A |
| Can overthrow nor years in long succession | C |
| Nor fleeting seasons I shall not wholly perish | D |
| In great part I'll escape the funeral pyre | E |
| And lately praised my praise will go on growing | F |
| To latest years As long as Priest and Vestal | G |
| Ascend the Capitol I shall be mentioned | A |
| Where Aufidus fierce rages and where Daunus | H |
| A rustic race rules in an arid country | B |
| Great though of humble birth I the first poet | A |
| To write in Latin rhythms olian lyrics | H |
| Take pride Melpomene in well earned merits | H |
| And crown me willingly with Delphic laurel | G |
