Nemesis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAAACAAD| WHEN through the nations stalks contagion wild | A |
| We from them cautiously should steal away | B |
| E'en I have oft with ling'ring and delay | B |
| Shunn'd many an influence not to be defil'd | A |
| And e'en though Amor oft my hours beguil'd | A |
| At length with him preferr'd I not to play | B |
| And so too with the wretched sons of clay | B |
| When four and three lined verses they compil'd | A |
| But punishment pursues the scoffer straight | A |
| As if by serpent torch of furies led | A |
| From bill to vale from land to sea to fly | C |
| I hear the genie's laughter at my fate | A |
| Yet do I find all power of thinking fled | A |
| In sonnet rage and love's fierce ecstasy | D |
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
