On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCADCDCDC| Much 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 |
