Anaylsis of a Passage
Can anyone grammatically analyze this passage:
'Homer, tho' greater than his gods,
With rough-hewn virtues was sufficed
And rough-hewn men: but what are such
To us who learn of Christ?'
The much-moved pathos of her voice,
Her almost tearful eyes, her cheek
Grown pale, confessed the strength of love
Which only made her speak:
'Homer, tho' greater than his gods,

And rough-hewn men: but what are such
To us who learn of Christ?'
The much-moved pathos of her voice,
Her almost tearful eyes, her cheek
Grown pale, confessed the strength of love
Which only made her speak:

So far this is what I've came up with. Homer= subject tho' greater than his gods= appositive with rough-hewn virtues= adjectival preposition rough-hewn men= adjectival what are such to us= adjectival preposition us who= indirect object Christ= object of a preposition/direct object The much moved pathos= subject of her voice= object of a preposition/direct object Her almost tearful eyes= adverbial adjectival her cheek grown pale= adjectival confessted the strength of love= adjectival preposition which only made her= abverbial speak= direct object I'm not sure if this is correct, any help would be appreciated.
