O'er these characters, your friend's inditing—

Call them forgery from A to Z!

"Actions? Where 's your certain proof" (they bother)

"He, of all you find so great and good,

He, he only, claims this, that, the other

Action—claimed by men, a multitude?"

I can simply-wish. I might refute you,

Wish my friend would,—by a word, a wink,—

Bid me stop that foolish mouth,—you brute you!

He keeps absent,—why, I cannot think.
