Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB DBDB EBEB FFreedom as every schoolboy knows | A |
Once shrieked as Kosciusko fell | B |
On every wind indeed that blows | A |
I hear her yell | B |
- | |
She screams whenever monarchs meet | C |
And parliaments as well | B |
To bind the chains about her feet | C |
And toll her knell | B |

And when the sovereign people cast | D |
The votes they cannot spell | B |
Upon the pestilential blast | D |
Her clamors swell | B |

For all to whom the power's given | E |
To sway or to compel | B |
Among themselves apportion Heaven | E |
And give her Hell | B |
