Variable, versatile, stormy, and wild,

At times we’re entranced, and then again riled

At his wayward remarks and blustering strain,

Peculiar alone to Geo. Francis Train.

Original ever his words and his ways,

But orthodox seldom in aught that he says;

His fancy, so fertile, takes many a flight,

But leaves Truth and Religion quite out of sight.

Ambitious, progressive, political scion,

Reminding us oft of a wild, roaring lion,
