fold
gold
sea
Galilee
Read them aloud. What pattern do you hear?
1. Read the following lines from the poem “The Destruction of Sennacherib” by Lord Byron.
The Assyr came down like a wolf on the fold,
And his cohorts gleaming in purple and gold.
And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,
When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Gailiee.
What is the rhyme scheme of the above lines?
A. abab
B. aabb
C. aabc
D. abaa
Help?

Oh, hmm.... I think it would be aabc
Nope. Obviously you haven't read Writeacher's explanation or the link I posted.
Yes I did. I think its aabc because fold and gold rhyme together and sea and Galileee rhyme differently
Sea and Galilee rhyme with an "eeee" sound at the end of each of these words.
OH so it would be aabb
Hey Cassie, be sure to read what Ms. sue and Writeacher's. Sometimes as students, we become desperate for the answer, but calm down and study more. :)
If you look at the poem and follow the Close Reading Workshop that probably you have learned, you'll will be able to find the answer.
