The Speech Of Flattery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDCECFCF| See how he lies still mighty in his ease | A |
| The fields' huge fear the terrifying saint | B |
| And nothing needed but his straightened knees | A |
| A polished helm perhaps a little paint | B |
| His breast is broad as when behind the shield | C |
| He thrust its front across the clanging line | D |
| And stood with Gore as trembling armies kneeled | C |
| To lay their carven trophies at his shrine | D |
| And now the very gates would yield at sight | C |
| The earth cry 'Welcome' and the maidens sing | E |
| 'The day has come at last lat last the light | C |
| Sick Peace is slain and slaying War is king ' | F |
| Oh even yet will Beauty yield to Might | C |
| And deck his couch while Numa's temples ring ' | F |
