Memorials Of A Tour In Italy, 1837 - Xii. - Near The Lake Of Thrasymene Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACACDEFFGG| When here with Carthage Rome to conflict came | A |
| An earthquake mingling with the battle's shock | B |
| Checked not its rage unfelt the ground did rock | B |
| Sword dropped not javelin kept its deadly aim | A |
| Now all is sun bright peace Of that day's shame | A |
| Or glory not a vestige seems to endure | C |
| Save in this Rill that took from blood the name | A |
| Which yet it bears sweet Stream as crystal pure | C |
| So may all trace and sign of deeds aloof | D |
| From the true guidance of humanity | E |
| Thro' Time and Nature's influence purify | F |
| Their spirit or unless they for reproof | F |
| Or warning serve thus let them all on ground | G |
| That gave them being vanish to a sound | G |
