Gems from "In a Minor Key".
(With Remarks by The Conservative)
"-------mentally unpalatable, even as are the words of George Sylvester Vierick to the great (no kidding) English People".
W.H. Goodwin.
No kidding, Goodwin, you with wisdom say
That England likes not George Sylvester's way:
The honest truth poor Vierick ne'er could speak,
And Britons hate a liar and a sneak!
"-------Germans, and all persecuted peoples".
Charles D. Isaacson.
Heav'n help the Prussian, fragile and oppress'd,
Whose injur'd feelings lacerate his breast.
O Cruel World! This peaceful creature spare,
That he may ravage land, and sea, and air!
"We will not fight. We will not march to war".
Charles D. Isaacson.
Horatius at the bridge intrepid stands,
A branch of olive in his gentle hands.
Th' Etruscan host draws nearer, and with pride
The manly hero bows and steps aside!
