Grate on our ears no longer! Must our eyes

Gaze on his death pang? Hast no other gags

To move thy hearers’ laughter but his speech?

Stirs else no toothpick in their languid lips?

Else will no crutch be lifted to applaud?

Have they such souls no milder sight can teach,

Save glorious manhood’s absolute eclipse?

How foul is vice, how much to be abhorred!

Caraway.
