Victor And Vanquished Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| As one who long hath fled with panting breath | A |
| Before his foe bleeding and near to fall | B |
| I turn and set my back against the wall | B |
| And look thee in the face triumphant Death | A |
| I call for aid and no one answereth | A |
| I am alone with thee who conquerest all | B |
| Yet me thy threatening form doth not appall | B |
| For thou art but a phantom and a wraith | A |
| Wounded and weak sword broken at the hilt | C |
| With armor shattered and without a shield | D |
| I stand unmoved do with me what thou wilt | C |
| I can resist no more but will not yield | D |
| This is no tournament where cowards tilt | C |
| The vanquished here is victor of the field | D |
