Hoffer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCDOF mortal parents is the Hero born | A |
By whom the undaunted Tyrolese are led | B |
Or is it Tell's great Spirit from the dead | B |
Returned to animate an age forlorn | A |
He comes like Phoebus through the gates of morn | A |
When dreary darkness is discomfited | B |
Yet mark his modest state upon his head | B |
That simple crest a heron's plume is worn | A |
O Liberty they stagger at the shock | C |
From van to rear and with one mind would flee | D |
But half their host is buried rock on rock | C |
Descends beneath this godlike Warrior see | D |
Hills torrents woods embodied to bemock | C |
The Tyrant and confound his cruelty | D |
