A. First, read the lines below from John Keats's poem "Ode on a Grecian Urn." Then, review

the metrical feet box on page 35 in your study guide and the model of a scanned poem on
page 42 in your textbook. Finally, scan the lines. Mark the syllables, separate the feet with
short vertical lines, and indicate the rhyme scheme.

Answer:"Thou still unravish'd bride of quietness,

Thou foster-child of Silence and slow Time,

Sylvan historian, who canst thus express

A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme:

What leaf-fring'd legend haunts about thy shape

Of deities or mortals, or of both,

In Tempe or the dales of Arcady?

What men or gods are these? What maidens loth?

What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?

What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?"

Now, let's scan the lines and mark the syllables, separate the feet with short vertical lines, and indicate the rhyme scheme:

"Thou still | unra | vish'd bride | of qui | etness,

Thou fos | ter-child | of Si | lence and | slow Time,

Syl | van his | to | ri | an, who | canst thus ex | press

A flow'ry tale | more sweet | ly than | our rhyme:

What leaf- | fring'd le | gend haunts | a bout | thy shape

Of dei-| ties or mor-| tals, or of both,

In Tempe or the dales | of Ar-| ca-| dy?

What men or gods are these? What maidens loth?

What mad pur-| suit? What strug-| gle to es-| cape?

What pipes and timbrels? What wild ec-| sta-| sy?"

The rhyme scheme for these lines is as follows:

ABABCDECDE

In this rhyme scheme, each letter represents a different end sound in the lines. Lines with the same letter at the end rhyme with each other.
