Lo, they sit down as jurors, they judge and they vote,

And in steering through life ply an oar in the boat.

The mother departed looks down here with pride

On her merciful child dealing charity wide;

While man, that once governed so harsh and severe,

Applies for positions in meekness and fear;

Now the cane of the dude is no more on the street,

The eyeglass is missing, and sharp-pointed feet,

The poor “chappy” himself is beyond the bright spheres,

For ’tis not the same in a thousand years.
