Degraded, brutal, ignorant,

Depraved in every wish and want,

A wretch, a thief, an arrant knave,

A copperhead—a willing slave!

To those who from the Fathers quote

And say that such were meant to vote,

I put these queries now, at once:

Which of the fathers was a dunce?

Pray name the man,—say, who was he

Who thus could poison freedom’s tree,
