And much annoyed by present-day neglect,

Have sometimes wished they never had been born,

At least in any world so "unselect."

Their non-existence being now a "fact"

Accepted by mankind's majority,

They naturally feel quite "up a tree."

They don't know what to do to counteract

These damned delusions of Democracy.

Although they often walk out in the sun,

And show themselves in all important streets,
