 "What unrecorded overthrow Of all the world has ever known, Or ever been, has made itself So plain to you, and you alone?

"Your Dollar, Dove and Eagle make A Trinity that even you Rate higher than you rate yourselves; It pays, it flatters, and it's new.

"And though your very flesh and blood Be what your Eagle eats and drinks, You'll praise him for the best of birds, Not knowing what the Eagle thinks.

"The power is yours, but not the sight; You see not upon what you tread; You have the ages for your guide, But not the wisdom to be led.
