To J. M. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABAACDDECE| Let Fate or Insufficiency provide | A |
| Mean ends for men who what they are would be | B |
| Penned in their narrow day no change they see | B |
| Save one which strikes the blow to brutes and pride | A |
| Our faith is ours and comes not on a tide | A |
| And whether Earth's great offspring by decree | B |
| Must rot if they abjure rapacity | A |
| Not argument but effort shall decide | A |
| They number many heads in that hard flock | C |
| Trim swordsmen they push forth yet try thy steel | D |
| Thou fighting for poor humankind wilt feel | D |
| The strength of Roland in thy wrist to hew | E |
| A chasm sheer into the barrier rock | C |
| And bring the army of the faithful through | E |
