The rhyme scheme of Shelley's Ozymandias is: ABABACDC ECE FEF. For extra merit you could point out that the poem starts like a Shakespearean Sonnet, but ends as three triplets of TERZA RIMA (a rhyme pattern common in Italian, but very rare in English; Shelley spoke fluent Italian). It is debatable whether the poem has a sestet. If your teacher insist on seeing a sestet, then the theme of the Octave is the current appearance of the Statue of Ozymandias (Ramases II), while the theme of the Sestet is the 'meaning' the statue is given:- first by the inscription on its base, and then by the current ruinous nature of both the statue and its surroundings. But for extra merit, you could point out that there are really TWO Volte (changes of theme). Lines 9-11 show the meaning that the statue was intended to have (an image of a mighty conqueror), lines 12-14 show the statue's final meaning (a ruin of a forgotten despot). It's a tricky poem, and will repay as much study as you are willing to give it.

The rhyme scheme of "Ozymandias" is ABABA CDCD EFEF GG. The octave (first 8 lines) explores the theme of the transience of human achievements and the inevitable decline of power and empires. The sestet (last 6 lines) shifts to the theme of the passage of time and the enduring power of art, contrasting the temporary nature of human accomplishments with the lasting impact of art. There is a clear distinction in theme between the two parts, with the octave focusing on the theme of impermanence and the sestet emphasizing the lasting legacy of art.

What does the keynote and octave have in common?
The term 'octave' is the name for an interval(space) between two notes. The frequency of the note is doubled, or halved, depending on whether the interval goes up or down in frequency. The two notes are heard toghether as the same, and will also have the same name. For example, an octave above A(440 Hz) is A(880 Hz) an octave under A(440 Hz) is A(220 Hz) To answer the question, the similarity between the keynote and an octave above it, is that the ratio between the frequency of these notes is 1:2 and of course, their names.

What is an octave in piano?
If you look at the piano keys you will notice there is a pattern in the way the black notes interleave the white notes. This pattern is repeated several times along the keyboard. If you select any key (black or white) and then look for the same key in the next repeat of the pattern to the right, that is one octave higher. Another way is, for a white note, call that "1", then counting white notes as you go to the right, one octave higher is note 8. Starting with any black note called "1", then counting black notes only, one octave higher is note 6. There are fewer black notes than white ones. One octave higher is double the sound frequency.
