Horace's Philosophy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCCAAABB

What the end the gods have destined unto thee and unto meA
Ask not 'tis forbidden knowledge Be content LeuconoeB
Let alone the fortune tellers How much better to endureC
Whatsoever shall betide us even though we be not sureC
Whether Jove grants other winters whether this our last shall beA
That upon the rocks opposing dashes now the Tuscan seaA
Be thou wise and strain thy wines and mindful of life's brevityA
Stint thy hopes The envious moments even while we speak have flownB
Trusting nothing to the future seize the day that is our ownB
