Not a murmur of shame,

Or buzz of blame,

Not a flying report that flew at a name,

Not a plausible gloss, or significant note,

Not a word in the scandalous circles afloat,

Of a beam in the eye, or diminutive mote,

But vortex-like that tube of tin

Suck'd the censorious particle in;

And, truth to tell, for as willing an organ

As ever listen'd to serpent's hiss,
