An Old, Mad, Blind, Despised, And Dying King, - Princes, The Dregs Of Their Dull Race, Who Flow Through Public Scorn, - Mud From A Muddy Spring, - Rulers Who Neither See, Nor Feel, Nor Know, But Leech-Like To Their Fainting Country Cling, Till They Drop, Blind In Blood, Without A Blow, - A People Starved And Stabbed In The Untilled Field, - An Army, Which Liberticide And Prey Makes As A Two-Edged Sword To All Who Wield, - Golden And Sanguine Laws Which Tempt And Slay; Religion Christless, Godless - A Book Sealed; A Senate, - Time'S Worst Statute, Unrepealed, - Are Graves From Which A Glorious Phantom May Burst, To Illumine Our Tempestuous Day.
