Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley the RE RE RE RE REEEEMIX!!!

1) the speaker is Percy speaking about a conversation he had with traveler in an ancient landryhne
2) the structure of the poem used a strange ABAB rhyme scheme. The first and third lines of the stanza always rhyme but the second and fourth don't, but if they are supposed to it is a veeeery watered down slant rhyme.
3) the theme on the surface appears to be about the statue of an ancient king. Under that it could be that even in the destructive essence of time memory still lives on.
4) the meaning is about a statue and its impression on the memory of Ozymandias
5) the statute
6) important side words king, statute, visage, antique.
7) detailed, inquisitive,
8) ABAB rhyme scheme. Broken sentences.
