CHAPTER XI.
CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY.

To be thus made a mark conspicuous

For Envy’s shaft and brutal prejudice—

To hear above the loud huzzas the voice

Of some Satanic fool’s malignity

Roaring along the wind, like a wild ass

Braying th’ Assyrian desert, and to doubt

The applauding throng that gathers eagerly

To share the sunshine or perchance to weave
