Rhyme Scheme: ABABABCDCDCCDD| An 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 |

| A Senate Time s worst statute unrepealed | C |
| Are graves from which a glorious Phantom may | D |
| Burst to illumine our tempestuous day | D |
