[edit]HistoryIsAWeapon doesn't list the final two verses of the closing poem, has out of the common way, for me. It is true... instead of out of the common way, for it is true... - but seems to have other, less likely, errors as well so is not likely as reputable.

- Actually, an OCR-ed version from a printed book seems to suggest that it's "Fourth of July" not "Fourth [of] July", and the alternate sentence structure for "Out of the common way" - if that's any help. Sherurcij Collaboration of the Week: Portal:Branch Davidians 08:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
