They swore I was crazy, and out of my mind,
An old dotard they called me—lame, halt, and blind;
They shall take it all back! a stroke of my pen
Shall force them to cry out Amen! and Amen!
Having conquered thus far, possessing my wife,
I’ll heal up old sores—prevent further strife;
Matters now doubtful, shall by law be made plain,
My children no longer shall curse, or complain.
So sit down at once—do all in your power,
To have this my ‘Last Will’ complete in an hour;
