O these are pretty delusions all!
Baubles & toys for children's play
But the trumpery felon soon will fall
And the fresh winds sweep these follies away.
Do ye think that man when he stand erect
In wisdom fair & in virtue free
Will an hour day endure – for less or an hour respect
This feud & foolish .
A time will come whenths locks of gray
And the simple garb of an aged man
Will bear a former mightier sway
Then this proud & pompous pageant can.
When he who sheaths in a people's name
Shall want no trappings Tho' his dress as plain as a shepherd's be
Shall afar – shall whiten in shame
Such sobering, sickening vanity.
