'Tis no Alsatia for foul crime.
Foes dub me sinister, satanic,
A friend of Nihilists and knaves;
Because I will not let mere panic
Rob me of sympathy with slaves,
And hatred of oppressors. Fudge!
Their railings will not make me budge.
I've taken up my stand for freedom,
I'll jackal to no autocrat;
But rogues with hands as red as Edom,
