[PARADOXICAL WORDS]
H E was up on the hustings, and thrashed with his tongue,
The air in a socialistic vein,
And as an employer, for the workers he felt,
By proxy,—a sympathetic pain!
A pang, that the few could wallow in their wealth,
Whilst many—their brothers—should sweat,
"But ha!" shouted he, with a chuckle, and a grin,
