Il Popolo ' Una Bestia. The People Is A Beast Of Muddy Brain, That Knows Not Its Own Force, And Therefore Stands Loaded With Wood And Stone; The Powerless Hands Of A Mere Child Guide It With Bit And Rein: One Kick Would Be Enough To Break The Chain; But The Beast Fears, And What The Child Demands, It Does; Nor Its Own Terror Understands, Confused And Stupefied By Bugbears Vain. Most Wonderful! With Its Own Hand It Ties And Gags Itself--Gives Itself Death And War For Pence Doled Out By Kings From Its Own Store. Its Own Are All Things Between Earth And Heaven; But This It Knows Not; And If One Arise To Tell This Truth, It Kills Him Unforgiven.
