Shelley's Ode to the West Wind, written in fourteen line terza rima stanzas, is a major poem in the form, but perhaps the greatest odes of the 19th century were Keats's Five Great Odes of 1819 which included Ode to a Nightingale, Ode on Melancholy, Ode on a Grecian Urn, Ode to Psyche, and To Autumn.

During the spring of 1819, Keats wrote many of his major odes: " Ode on a Grecian Urn ", " Ode on Indolence ", " Ode on Melancholy ", " Ode to a Nightingale ", and " Ode to Psyche ".

Of Keats's six major odes of 1819, " Ode to Psyche " was probably written first and " To Autumn " written last.

" Ode to a Nightingale " was probably the first of the middle set of four odes that Keats wrote following " Ode to Psyche " as implied by Brown.

It is one of his " Great Odes of 1819 ", which include " Ode on Indolence ", " Ode on Melancholy ", " Ode to a Nightingale ", and " Ode to Psyche ".

These real-world difficulties may have given Keats pause for thought about a career in poetry, yet he did manage to complete five odes, including " Ode to a Nightingale ", " Ode to Psyche ", " Ode on Melancholy ", " Ode on Indolence ", and " Ode on a Grecian Urn ".

Keats developed his own type of ode in " Ode to Psyche ", which preceded " Ode on a Grecian Urn " and other odes he had written in 1819.

The beginning of the poem posits that the role of art is to describe a specific story about those with whom the audience is unfamiliar, and the narrator wishes to know the identity of the figures in a manner similar to " Ode on Indolence " and " Ode to Psyche ".

" Ode on Indolence " relies on ten line stanzas with a rhyme scheme that begins with a Shakespearian quatrain ( ABAB ) and ends with a Miltonic sestet ( CDECDE ).

The manuscript begins with the second strophe of the first verse of Ode 3 ( the first two odes have been lost ).

As with " Ode on a Grecian Urn ", " Ode on Indolence ", and " To Autumn ", each stanza begins with an ABAB rhyme scheme then finishes with a Miltonic sestet.

The action of " Ode to Psyche " begins with a narrator witnessing two individuals embracing.

Bacchylides's first notable success came sometime after 500 BC with commissions from Athens for the great Delian festival ( Ode 17 ) and from Macedonia for a song to be sung at a symposium for the young prince, Alexander I ( fr.

Soon he was competing with Pindar for commissions from the leading families of Aegina and, in 476 BC, their rivalry seems to have reached the highest levels when Bacchylides composed an ode celebrating Hieron's first victory at the Olympian Games ( Ode 5 ).

The debt however was mutual and Bacchylides borrowed from tragedy for some of his effects – thus Ode 16, with its myth of Deianeira, seems to assume audience knowledge of Sophocles's play, Women of Trachis, and Ode 18 echoes three plays – Aeschylus's Persians and Suppliants and Sophocles's Oedipus Rex.

Many of his epithets however serve a thematic and not just a decorative function, as for instance in Ode 3, where the " bronze-walled court " and " well-built halls " of Croesus ( Ode 3. 30 – 31 and 3. 46 ) contrast architecturally with the " wooden house " of his funeral pyre ( Ode 3. 49 ), in an effect that aims at pathos and which underscores the moral of the ode.

Imagery is employed sparingly but often with impressive and beautiful results, such as in the simile of the eagle in Ode 5 below.

The image of the eagle occurs in Ode 5, which was composed for Hieron of Syracuse in celebration of his Olympic victory with the race-horse Pherenicus in 476 BC.

Marvell, in his Horatian Ode upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland uses a regular form ( two four-foot lines followed by two three-foot lines ) modelled on Horace, while Cowley wrote " Pindarique " odes which had irregular patterns of line lengths and rhyme schemes, though they were iambic.

But despite this problem, Cowley's use of iambic lines of irregular length, pattern, and rhyme scheme was very influential and is still known as English " Pindarick " Ode, or Irregular Ode.

Although a difficult form to use in English because of the relative paucity of rhyme words available in a language which has, in comparison with Italian, a more complex phonology, terza rima has been used by Milton, Byron ( in his Prophecy of Dante ) and Shelley ( in his Ode to the West Wind and The Triumph of Life ).

" Ode on a Grecian Urn " is organized into ten-line stanzas, and has a rhyme scheme beginning with a Shakespearian quatrain ( ABAB ) and ending with a Miltonic sestet ( CDECED ).

Because the poem has fewer stanzas than " Ode on Indolence " and " Ode on a Grecian Urn ", the rhyme scheme appears less elaborate, with the first and second stanzas sharing a rhyme scheme of: ABABCDECDE, while the third takes on one of its own: ABABCDEDCE.

Beauty and Truth have been argued to be nearly synonymous, as reflected in the statement " Beauty is truth, truth beauty " in the poem Ode on a Grecian Urn by John Keats.
