Justice Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE DFDF GEGE EEEE| Jack Doe met Dick Roe whose wife he loved | A |
| And said 'I will get the best of him ' | B |
| So pulling a knife from his boot he shoved | A |
| It up to the hilt in the breast of him | C |
| - | |
| Then he moved that weapon forth and back | D |
| Enlarging the hole he had made with it | E |
| Till the smoking liver fell out and Jack | D |
| Merrily merrily played with it | E |
| - | |
| Then he reached within and he seized the slack | D |
| Of the lesser bowel and traveling | F |
| Hither and thither looked idly back | D |
| On that small intestine raveling | F |
| - | |
| The wretched Richard with many a grin | G |
| Laid on with exceeding suavity | E |
| Curled up and died and they ran John in | G |
| And charged him with sins of gravity | E |
| - | |
| The case was tried and a verdict found | E |
| The jury with great humanity | E |
| Acquitted the prisoner on the ground | E |
| Of extemporary insanity | E |
