To The Fragment Of A Statue Of Hercules, Commonly Called The Torso Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDDEFGHII| And dost thou still thou mass of breathing stone | A |
| Thy giant limbs to night and chaos hurl'd | B |
| Still sit as on the fragment of a world | B |
| Surviving all majestic and alone | A |
| What tho' the Spirits of the North that swept | C |
| Rome from the earth when in her pomp she slept | C |
| Smote thee with fury and thy headless trunk | D |
| Deep in the dust mid tower and temple sunk | D |
| Soon to subdue mankind 'twas thine to rise | E |
| Still still unquell'd thy glorious energies | F |
| Aspiring minds with thee conversing caught | G |
| Bright revelations of the Good they sought | H |
| By thee that long lost spell in secret given | I |
| To draw down Gods and lift the soul to Heav'n | I |
