But certain people always grow splenetic—

Why, goodness knows—at everything pathetic,

And scoff it down. We all know how, of late,

An unfledged, upstart undergraduate

Presumed, with brazen insolence, to declare

That “William Russell” was a poor affair!

Falk.

But what has this to do with Strawman, pray?

Is he a poem, or a Christian play?
