Quo Vadis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDF| It is as if imperial trumpets broke | A |
| Again the silence on War's iron height | B |
| And C sar's armored legions marched to fight | B |
| While Rome blood red upon her mountain yoke | A |
| Blazed like an awful sunset At a stroke | A |
| Again I see the living torches light | B |
| The horrible revels and the bloated white | B |
| Bayed brow of Nero smiling through the smoke | A |
| And here and there a little band of slaves | C |
| Among dark ruins and the form of Paul | D |
| Bearded and gaunt expounding still the Word | E |
| And towards the North the tottering architraves | C |
| Of empire and wild waving over all | D |
| The flaming figure of a Gothic sword | F |
