Heroism Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBAAAA| Ruby wine is drunk by knaves | A |
| Sugar spends to fatten slaves | A |
| Rose and vine leaf deck buffoons | A |
| Thunder clouds are Jove's festoons | A |
| Drooping oft in wreaths of dread | B |
| Lightning knotted round his head | B |
| The hero is not fed on sweets | A |
| Daily his own heart he eats | A |
| Chambers of the great are jails | A |
| And head winds right for royal sails | A |
