Good friend it is with deep regret I note	A
The latest strangest turning of your coat	A
Though any way you wear that mental clout	B
The seamy side seems always to be out	B
Who could have thought that you would e'er sustain	C
The Southern shotgun's arbitrary reign	C
Your sturdy hand assisting to replace	D
The broken yoke on a delivered race	D
The ballot's purity no more your care	E
With equal privilege to dark and fair	E
To Yesterday a traitor to To day	F
You're constant but the better to betray	F
To morrow Your convictions all are naught	G
But the wild asses of the world of thought	G
Which flying mindless o'er the barren plain	C
Perceive at last they've nothing so to gain	C
And turning penitent upon their track	H
Economize their strength by flying back	H
	-
Ex champion of Freedom battle lunged	I
No more red handed or at least red tongued	J
Brandish the javelin which by others thrown	K
Clove Sambo's heart to quiver in your own	K
Confess no more that when his blood was shed	L
And you so sympathetically bled	L
The bow that spanned the mutual cascade	M
Was but the promise of a roaring trade	M
In offices Your fingering now the trigger	N
Shows that you knew your Negro was a nigger	N
Ad hominem this argumentum runs	O
Peace let us fire another kind of guns	O
	-
I grant you friend that it is very true	P
The Blacks are ignorant and sable too	P
What then One way of two a fool must vote	A
And either way with gentlemen of note	A
Whose villain feuds the fact attest too well	Q
That pedagogues nor vice nor error quell	Q
The fiercest controversies ever rage	R
When Miltons and Salmasii engage	R
No project wide attention ever drew	P
But it disparted all the learned crew	P
As through their group the cleaving line's prolonged	S
With fiery combatants each field is thronged	S
In battle royal they engage at once	T
For guidance of the hesitating dunce	T
The Titans on the heights contend full soon	U
On this side Webster and on that Calhoun	U
The monstrous conflagration of their fight	V
Startling the day and splendoring the night	V
Both are unconquerable one is right	V
Will't keep the pigmy if we make him strong	W
From siding with a giant in the wrong	W
When Genius strikes for error who's afraid	M
To arm poor Folly with a wooden blade	M
O Rabelais you knew it all your good	X
And honest judge by men misunderstood	X
Knew to be right there was but one device	T
Less fallible than ignorance the dice	T
The time must come Heaven expedite the day	F
When all mankind shall their decrees obey	F
And nations prosper in their peaceful sway	F
