The Advice Of Treachery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCDDEFGGEHIIJ| This well feigned trance this still and | A |
| stupored sleep | B |
| is aptly timed and nobly fits the scheme | C |
| The cloud encircled Sword with Night may creep | B |
| Beside the gates and catch the world adream | C |
| Snatching as life before the sluggish breath | D |
| Awakes to morning and to vultured death | D |
| Till Craft appeared the blunted Grecian spears | E |
| That scratched at Troy and all the blistered | F |
| Hands | G |
| That tore at stones and prayed upon the sands | G |
| Were weak and vain and vain the bloody years | E |
| Oh let the winds take up the heavy tones | H |
| Of sleeping Move within a mist Shun light | I |
| Then swing the hidden weapon once and smite | I |
| And gaze with laughter on the slaughtered throne | J |
