War Profits Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDEBFGFHHEBIBIBB E

THE horns of the moon are tippedA
With pearl Her lover wooedB
By charms and won EndymionC
Inherits quietudeB
White the gleamD
Of the dreamD
On his eyesE
The horns of the sun are diptB
In ruddy flame that flingsF
Adventurous young IcarusG
To earth on ruined wingsF
But he flewH
But he knewH
Winds and skiesE
Lucifer's horns have a crustB
Of gold and topaz gemI
On points that thrust to yellow dustB
The heart that covets themI
Heed take heedB
For by greedB
Glory diesE
