Whilst vile contractors, like the leech,

Suck all the blood within their reach,

Their country drain at every pore

And fatten on her heroes’ gore;

Whilst every quack propounds his plan,

And no place has its proper man;

Where are the men whose mental gaze

Can penetrate the thickest haze,

And see, through instinct, dawning bright

The sun that scatters gloom and night;
