When I, or you the wise, are reasoned with,

So damages what I and you hold dear?

In that event, I ply the populace

With just such word as leavens their whole lump

To the right ferment for my purpose. They

Arbitrate properly between us both?

They weigh my answer with his argument,

Match quip with quibble, wit with eloquence?

All they attain to understand is—blank!

Two adversaries differ; which is right
