Odes Of Anacreon - Ode Ii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGFFF AABB| Give me the harp of epic song | A |
| Which Homer's finger thrilled along | A |
| But tear away the sanguine string | B |
| For war is not the theme I sing | B |
| Proclaim the laws of festal right | C |
| I'm monarch of the board to night | C |
| And all around shall brim as high | D |
| And quaff the tide as deep as I | D |
| And when the cluster's mellowing dews | E |
| Their warm enchanting balm infuse | E |
| Our feet shall catch the elastic bound | F |
| And reel us through the dance's round | F |
| Great Bacchus we shall sing to thee | G |
| In wild but sweet ebriety | F |
| Flashing around such sparks of thought | F |
| As Bacchus could alone have taught | F |
| - | |
| Then give the harp of epic song | A |
| Which Homer's finger thrilled along | A |
| But tear away the sanguine string | B |
| For war is not the theme I sing | B |
