Go Back To Antique Ages, If Thine Eyes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADEDEDEGo back to antique ages if thine eyes | A |
The genuine mien and character would trace | B |
Of the rash Spirit that still holds her place | B |
Prompting the world's audacious vanities | C |
Go back and see the Tower of Babel rise | A |
The pyramid extend its monstrous base | B |
For some Aspirant of our short lived race | B |
Anxious an aery name to immortalize | A |
There too ere wiles and politic dispute | D |
Gave specious colouring to aim and act | E |
See the first mighty Hunter leave the brute | D |
To chase mankind with men in armies packed | E |
For his field pastime high and absolute | D |
While to dislodge his game cities are sacked | E |
