See Whittier—angels spare him long to men!—
Whose pencil served apprentice to his pen;
See Taylor, travelling many a useful mile,
Grasp a reporter's pencil all the while;
See Holland—sweetly noble household name—
Lean on the pencil, on his way to fame;
See, bending the reporter's page above,
Artemus Ward—light laughter's dearest love!
See thousands of the loftiest of the land,
First learn to write an editorial hand!
