Judge Somers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFAGHIJK

How does it happen tell meA
That I who was most erudite of lawyersB
Who knew Blackstone and CokeC
Almost by heart who made the greatest speechD
The court house ever heard and wroteE
A brief that won the praise of Justice BreeseF
How does it happen tell meA
That I lie here unmarked forgottenG
While Chase Henry the town drunkardH
Has a marble block topped by an urnI
Wherein Nature in a mood ironicalJ
Has sown a flowering weedK
