Rhyme Scheme: ABABABCDCDCCDDAn old mad blind despised and dying king | A |
Princes the dregs of their dull race who flow | B |
Through public scorn mud from a muddy spring | A |
Rulers who neither see nor feel nor know | B |
But leech like to their fainting country cling | A |
Till they drop blind in blood without a blow | B |
A people starved and stabbed in the untilled field | C |
An army which liberticide and prey | D |
Makes as a two edged sword to all who wield | C |
Golden and sanguine laws which tempt and slay | D |
Religion Christless Godless a book sealed | C |
A Senate Time s worst statute unrepealed | C |
Are graves from which a glorious Phantom may | D |
Burst to illumine our tempestuous day | D |
