METEMPSYCHOSIS.

Once with Christ he entered Salem,

Once in Moab bullied Balaam,

Once by Apuleius staged

He the pious much enraged.

And, again, his head, as beaver,

Topped the neck of Nick the Weaver.

Omar saw him (minus tether—

Free and wanton as the weather:

Knowing naught of bit or spur)

Stamping over Bahram-Gur.

Now, as Altgeld, see him joy

As Governor of Illinois!
