To Rome Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBBDEBFEB B| Tell me proud Rome why dost these edicts read | A |
| These many laws by prince or people made | B |
| Or answers by the prudent duly weighed | B |
| When now thou canst the world no longer lead | A |
| Thou readest sad one of each ancient deed | C |
| Where thy unconquered sons their might displayed | B |
| Afric and Egypt at thy feet were laid | B |
| But slavery not rule is now thy meed | B |
| What boots it that thou wast of old a queen | D |
| And over foreign nations heldest rein | E |
| If thou and all thy fame no more exist | B |
| Forgive me God if all my days have been | F |
| Devoted to man's laws unjust and vain | E |
| Unless Thy law within the heart be fixed | B |

| Cino da Pistoia | B |
