Sra, Thank you for responding.
No, I'm talking about the Latin alphabet (i.e. ABCDEFG, etc.) Rhyme scheme operates by assigning rhyming lines to a specific letter (so something like "Comrades all, that stand and gaze,/Walk henceforth in other ways;/See my neck and save your own:/Comrades all, leave ill alone." would be abab) I'm wondering if the stanzas of a poem exceed the letter Z, what symbols are assigned to represent the scheme.

I've never had occasion to need more than the letters in our alphabet. Do you have a particular poem in mind?
