Black Beetles in Amber

Listen to his wild romances:

He advances foolish fancies,

Each expounded as his "view"—

Gu.

In his brain's opacous clot, ah

He has got a maggot! What a

Man with "views" to overwhelm us!—

Gulielmus.

Hear his demagogic clamor—

Hear him stammer in his grammar!

Teaching, he will learn to spell—

Gulielmus L.

Slave who paid the price demanded—

With two-handed iron branded

By the boss—pray cease to dose us,

Gulielmus L. Jocosus.
