On The Same By Palladas Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHI| A Spartan 'scaping from the fight | A |
| His mother met him in his flight | A |
| Upheld a falchion to his breast | B |
| And thus the fugitive address'd | B |
| 'Thou canst but live to blot with shame | C |
| Indelible thy mother's name | C |
| While every breath that thou shalt draw | D |
| Offends against thy country's law | D |
| But if thou perish by this hand | E |
| Myself indeed throughout the land | E |
| To my dishonor shall be known | F |
| The mother still of such a son | G |
| But Sparta will be safe and free | H |
| And that shall serve to comfort me ' | I |
