When I Peruse The Conquer'd Fame Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHI

WHEN I peruse the conquer'd fame of heroes and the victories ofA
mighty generals I do not envy the generalsB
Nor the President in his Presidency nor the rich in his great houseC
But when I hear of the brotherhood of lovers how it was with themD
How through life through dangers odium unchanging long and longE
Through youth and through middle and old age how unfaltering howF
affectionate and faithful they wereG
Then I am pensive I hastily walk away fill'd with the bitterestH
envyI
