Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IJKL MKKN IOKO PKQO

The strident highA
civic trumpetingB
of misrule It isC
what we stand forD
-
Wild insolenceE
aggregates withoutF
distinction CourageG
of common menH
-
spent in the ruckI
their remnant witnessJ
after centuriesK
is granted themL
-
like a pardonM
And other fealtiesK
other fortitudesK
broken as namedN
-
RespublicaI
brokenly recalledO
its archaic lawsK
and hymnodyO
-
and destroyed hopeP
that so many timesK
is brought with triumphQ
back from the deadO
