I" Most potent, brave and reverend sig
niors;
My very noble and approved good masters:
That l did send all but one Of these good
men to Carson,
1t is most true /;
True I selected them;
And most faithfully did they perform
the slightest wish of mine.
To this brave band OF stalwart gentlemen
| owe my present greatness,
Being second choice for that exalted place
Where Webster once did sit.
To thee, my loving Hobart, l would first
give need OF praise.
Thou art the Cassius Of Nevada's House
Of Lords,
And art truly apt in all the cunning
ways Of mighty craftsmanship.
To thee, oh, lofty Doolin, nothing but
the highest praise is,due.
Thou canst lay thy hand upon the
oceans main
And play familiar with the hoary locks
of giants.
Like the tall, unbending oak,
Thy virtues and thy resolution will
Withstand the shafts of the enemies
And the taunts of wicked men.
And now to the members, one and all,
Who now so valiantly do stand before me,
| have neither wit nor words,
Nor worth, action, nor utterances,
Nor the power of speech,
To tell the mighty benefits thou hast
vouchsafed
Unto this Silver State of ours.
That newborn charity,
Which thou didst most graciously bestow
upon the Bonanza firm,
Is like that quality Of mercy
Which, is "twice bless'd,"
d" II blesseth him that gives and him that
takes"
And with that all-seeing wisdom,
Which only statesmen have,
Thou didst ~vouchsafe unto the State
The right to borrow money.
And thou, too, mighty Wallace,
Art the very soul of combinations
Excellent, and mighty master
OF the complex machinery of State.
Thy eagle eye doth scan
The whole horizon ; and, like that
Noble bird, will perch in safety
When the dangerous elements
OF ocean, earth and sky are
Powerless to wrest from thee an Office.
