ON SEEING MULE KICK MAN THROUGH
TIE ROOF OF SHED.
Oh mule
What strong and complcate machinery
What sudden and precipitate extremes;
Mans Judgment and his vision must be keen
viii hesitate to ronse thee from thy dreams,
rugged school
Trained thy great qu1driceps ertensor
To bust keg of nails, kick down fence, or
Lift man, oh mule
Say NUE.
Thou vast not always thus insoluble,
Insensate to kindly touch or word?
Not always have thy accents, loud and voluble,
Mans fearful heart with dreadful terror
stirred.
Has your harsh rule
Always impelled him, with emotions fleet
To fly the fondling Of thy later feet
Ssy, gentle mule ?
Speak, mule;
Why iidst thou with intense vitality
Lift through the hingeless roof Of yonder
A man; an earth born child Of immortality,
Because he passed thee with incautious tread?
He was no fool,
That base born, soulless mules should kick
him,
No
He was a scholar; an A. NJ, a Phi. D.; a D.
OH!
Whoa, mule!l
