And Martinez, suppose they make you Pope,

Stops that with veto,—so, enjoy yourself!

I see you all reel to the rock, you waves—

Some forthright, some describe a sinuous track,

Some, crested brilliantly, with heads above,

Some in a strangled swirl sunk who knows how,

But all bound whither the main-current sets,

Rockward, an end in foam for all of you!

What if I be o'ertaken, pushed to the front

By all you crowding smoother souls behind,
