Conqueror Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCBC ADADEAEA FGFGAHAH| Though I defy the howling horde | A |
| As bloody browed I smite | A |
| Back to the wall with shattered sword | A |
| When darkly dooms the night | A |
| Though hoarse they cheer as I go down | B |
| Before their bitter odds | C |
| 'Tis I who win the victor's crown | B |
| The guerdon of the gods | C |
| - | |
| For all who fall in fearless fight | A |
| Alight a deathless flame | D |
| That glorifies the godless night | A |
| And fills the foe with shame | D |
| 'Tis they who triumph heaven high | E |
| And so in hell's despite | A |
| Be mine the dauntless will to die | E |
| In battle for the right | A |
| - | |
| The rant and cant of futile folk | F |
| Break brittle in my ears | G |
| Let me cast off the cursed yoke | F |
| And fall upon the spears | G |
| Aye though they mock my broken blade | A |
| And stamp and spit on me | H |
| Mine is the Shining Accolade | A |
| The Star of Victory | H |
