Would buffet their stolidity in vain.

If you should feel aggrieved by the mere wind

O' the blow that means to miss you and maul them,

That 's my success! Is it not folly, now,

To say with folk, "A plausible defence—

We see through notwithstanding, and reject"?

Reject the plausible they do, these fools,

Who never even make pretence to show

One point beyond its plausibility

In favor of the best belief they hold!
