Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFEFThey hold their public meetings where | A |
Our most renowned patriots stand | B |
One among the birds of the air | A |
A stumpier on either hand | B |
And all the popular statesmen say | C |
That purity built up the State | D |
And after kept it from decay | C |
And let all base ambition be | E |
For intellect would make us proud | F |
And pride bring in impurity | E |
The three old rascals laugh aloud | F |
