The Limitations Of Greatness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFG GHGHII

NO MAN really knows enoughA
To be hateful to his brotherB
None is rich enough to cuffA
And be cruel to anotherB
None so clever that he canC
Justly wrong his fellow manC
-
No one is so strong that heD
Has the right to curb the weakE
None so great that properlyD
He can trample down the meekE
There is nothing in successF
That excuses selfishnessG
-
Climb unto the topmost bightsG
Win yourself an honored nameH
But respect another's rightsG
Raise the weak and help the lameH
Strength of muscle or of mindI
Gives no right to be unkindI
