To Rulers And Judges Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDEF GHIJ KLMN DNDO PQRQ ISEN

He's risen Highest God to do the judgment fairA
Of the earthly ones in their whole bandB
How long he sad how long will you else spareA
The unjust and wicked people in your landB
-
Your sacred duty is to make support for lawsC
To make no favor to the strongest onesD
To leave the widows and orphans in your bordersE
Without help and safety not onceF
-
To save the innocent from all that harm and wrong isG
To give good shelter to unhappy folksH
To shield the weak from evil of the strongestI
To drew the poor from their heavy bondsJ
-
They don't hear the words They see and they don't knowK
Their eyes are covered with a veil of bribes and wealthL
The black injustice shakes the havens' domeM
And wicked deeds convulse the whole earthN
-
I thought kings you are strong as strong the gods of heavensD
And nobody else can judge you on the earthN
But you like I live in the yoke of passionsD
And just like I'm are serfs of the Lord DeathO
-
And you shall fall like leafs fall that are witheredP
From wet and bare trees by the autumnal skyQ
And you will die the great and wealthy caesarR
Just like your poorest slave will dieQ
-
Arise at last O God God of the just and purestI
Hark to the prayers they recall with for your graceS
Come judge chastise the wicked worldly rulersE
And be the only king on Haven and the earthN
