Non civium ardor prava jubentium,
Non vultus instantis tyranni," etc.

[The just man tenacious of purpose is not to be turned
aside by the heat of the populace nor the brow of the
threatening tyrant.]




MESMERISM

All I believed is true!
I am able yet
All I want, to get
By a method as strange as new:

And the wood-worm picks,
And the death-watch ticks,
And the bar has a flag of smut,
And a cat's in the water-butt-- 10
