For “sage politician” or some other noddy.
It is used, the world over, in commerce and trade;
But its last use, I trow, was to make a charade.
51. SONG OF THE SUN.
Not a rose that blooms,
Not a ring that assumes
The rainbow’s beautiful front,
But’s indebted to me,
As ye plainly see,
For the scent or splendor on’t.
