On A Celebrated Event In Ancient History Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFGHII| A ROMAN Master stands on Grecian ground | A |
| And to the people at the Isthmian Games | B |
| Assembled He by a herald's voice proclaims | B |
| THE LIBERTY OF GREECE the words rebound | A |
| Until all voices in one voice are drowned | A |
| Glad acclamation by which air was rent | C |
| And birds high flying in the element | D |
| Dropped to the earth astonished at the sound | A |
| Yet were the thoughtful grieved and still that voice | E |
| Haunts with sad echoes musing Fancy's ear | F |
| Ah that a 'Conqueror's' words should be so dear | G |
| Ah that a 'boon' could shed such rapturous joys | H |
| A gift of that which is not to be given | I |
| By all the blended powers of Earth and Heaven | I |
William Wordsworth
