THE BALANCE OF PoWER.

You take some States, not less than three;
Well call them A and 3 and c.
Not Russia, France or Germany,
But each a simple letter.
SuppOsing n should buy gun,
Then must purchase more than one:
And {, who cannot be Outdone,
VIII so a cannon better.
Now a. If not entirely mad,
Another gun or must add,
As many as the others had,
Until he OvertOpS them.
And b and will order more.
Exactly as they did before,
And lay up implements Of war
Till lack of money stops them.
For this is the Balance OF Power,
Humanitys IOveliest flower;
II We were not afraid
OF the guns We have made
We should all be at war in an hour.
The war clouds may threaten and lower,
But never will break in a shower,
For We haven't the cash
To do anything rash.
Upsetting the Balance OF Power.
Then b. on some convenient day.
Will make a secret league with A,
In which they practically say.
They'll so for together;
The secret, being one of State.
Is certain to evaporate.
And G may soon anticipate
Extremely sultry weather.
So c his neishbors will fatigue
With patriotic base intrigue.
Until he makes secret league
With each OF both the others.
So any two 10 fight are loath,
Because the third is bound by oath
To fight against and for them both
AS enemies and brothers,
And this is the Balance of Power.
Diplomacy's climax and flower:
If We did not surmise
We were all telling lies
We should all be at war in an hourf
The war clouds may threaten and lower
But never will break in a shower.
For you cannot depend
On foe a friend
