by Unknown

And still resisted, still must reign,

Dreaded, abhorred, reviled in vain;

Sole tyrant he, that still must thrive,

While any of his subjects live;

The stoutest arm he fastest binds,

Still strongest in the strongest minds;

Who struggles hardest, suffers most;

And tightens bands be cannot burst.

C. C. Colton.
