On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCADCDCDCMuch have I travell'd in the realms of gold | A |
And many goodly states and kingdoms seen | B |
Round many western islands have I been | C |
Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold | A |
Oft of one wide expanse had I been told | A |
That deep brow'd Homer ruled as his demesne | C |
Yet did I never breathe its pure serene | C |
Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold | A |
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies | D |
When a new planet swims into his ken | C |
Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes | D |
He star'd at the Pacific and all his men | C |
Look'd at each other with a wild surmise | D |
Silent upon a peak in Darien | C |
