If the great gods be just, they shall assist
The deeds of justest men.
Pompey
Antony and Cleopatra Act II, Scene i, Line 1
Well that’s a big if, isn’t it. This also kind of flies right in the face of life’s not fair, kid (one of my favorite, non-Will lines).
And, justest? C’mon now, that’s not even a word. I know that Will likes to make up words, but justest. He couldn’t just go with most just? Arguably that works even a little better with the iambic pentameter flow than justest.
Well now there I go again, trying to improve on Will. Silly
me. Silly me.
Silly me.

I'm not sure about the flow of iambic pentameter (you misspelled in your post) but I actually think "justest men" flows better here than "most just men" would.
Agree to disagree.
