And luck o' the pillow! No: select your lord

By the direct employment of your brains

As best you may,—bad as the blunder prove,

A far worse evil stank beneath the sun

When some legitimate blockhead managed so

Matters that high time was to interfere,

Though interference came from hell itself

And not the blind mad miserable mob

Happily ruled so long by pillow-luck

And divine right,—by lies in short, not truth.
