We coax ’em—yes—with fetters.
But other things we reverence—
Partic’larly forged letters.
We du believe with all our hearts
In the great Press’s freedom;
We hit out straight—but poisoned darts
Reserve for such as need’ em.
Palsied the arm that forges lies!
Cussed be calumniators!
[N.B.—This rule nohow applies
