To Napoleon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABCBDECEDCF| The heroes of the present and the past | A |
| Were puny vague and nothingness to thee | B |
| Thou didst a span grasp mighty to the last | A |
| And strain for glory when thy die was cast | A |
| That little island on the Atlantic sea | B |
| Was but a dust spot in a lake thy mind | C |
| Swept space as shoreless as eternity | B |
| Thy giant powers outstript this gaudy age | D |
| Of heroes and as looking at the sun | E |
| So gazing on thy greatness made men blind | C |
| To merits that had adoration won | E |
| In olden times The world was on thy page | D |
| Of victories but a comma Fame could find | C |
| No parallel thy greatness to presage | F |
