Alliterative verse in the Anglo-Saxon style. A full write-up can be found at http://alliteration.net/fieldgd.htm, but these are the basics:

* Lines broken into two halves
* Each half has two dominant beats (lifts) formed from stressed syllables with a variable number of weak syllables (dips) rounding it out
* In each line, the first lift in the first half-line alliterates with the first lift in the second half-line
* Vowels are considered to alliterate with each other

Alliterative verse does not traditionally use stanzas, so I've simply broken the text into four discrete chunks covering the four pillars of the Sith Code.
