These pitiful rebellions of the flesh,

These caterwaulings of the effeminate heart,

These hurts of self-imagined dignity,

Pass like the seaweed from about the bows

Of a great vessel speeding straight to sea!

Yes, if we could have that; but I suppose

We shall not have it, and therefore I submit!

Sp. (from within). Submit, submit!

’Tis common sense, and human wit

Can claim no higher name than it.
