One Judge Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHHIIJ J| Wallace created on a noble plan | A |
| To show us that a Judge can be a Man | A |
| Through moral mire exhaling mortal stench | B |
| God guided sweet and foot clean to the Bench | B |
| In salutation here and sign I lift | C |
| A hand as free as yours from lawless thrift | C |
| A heart ah would I truly could proclaim | D |
| My bosom lighted with so pure a flame | D |
| Alas not love of justice moves my pen | E |
| To praise or to condemn my fellow men | E |
| Good will and ill its busy point incite | F |
| I do but gratify them when I write | F |
| In palliation though I'd humbly state | G |
| I love the righteous and the wicked hate | G |
| So sir although we differ we agree | H |
| Our work alike from persecution free | H |
| And Heaven approving you consents to me | H |
| Take therefore from this not all useless hand | I |
| The crown of honor not in all the land | I |
| One honest man dissenting from the choice | J |
| Nor in approval one Fred Crocker's voice | J |
