| With actors and potentates in its midlands | B |
| Out of whose mouths go guileful pledges | C |

| Their levity luring our entreaty | A |
| And by this wont is our prize inhumed | A |
| - | |
| Our place is a sphere of arrogations | C |
| An arena for self important brigands | C |
| The very sobriquets for rot | A |
| Ablating enervating etiolating | E |
| The nurtured greenness of the place | C |
| The unstinting labor of heroes past | A |

| Our place is the art of venality | A |
| Reigning and raining by leaps and bounds | C |
| With plenary powers and contumelies | C |
| Weltering dominant even on law's cot | A |
| Beginning and weaving deliberations through | F |
| And resident ever like a stay at home lioness | C |

| Shall not the ills wreaked and sired today | A |
| Seep into the making of tomorrow | E |
| Now then is time to begin the cathartic tread | A |
| To indeed serve our fatherland | A |
| To indeed serve our fatherland | A |
