For if the crank be competent, my common sense is stronger.
The English woman flashes scorn from all her comely features,
To be compared by any man with such "disgusting creatures."
And all the fair Americans, who roam the wide world over,
Will trample down this windy chaff and Japaneesy clover.
'Tis not thy fault, O Sino San—we find the truth and strike it,
Farewell, thou Audrey of the East—grin on then "As you Like It!"
But never more by writer bold be canonised or sainted,
Deluded Doll! O Sino San, you're blacker than you're painted!
Yokohama, April 1, 1893.
