My foes will laugh, my friends will slink away
Soon as they hear that you are one of ours.
Vote not! Vote not!
Vote not for me! Oh, keep your word to Wild,
’Twill serve me better than if faith you broke,
I knew the value of your hate, and smiled,
But, oh! to have you for me is no joke!
Vote not! Vote not!
Vote not! Vote not! Oh, warning vainly given;
Oh, why be generous at another’s cost?
