THE MADDEST MAN.

You have heard OF Roman emperors.
Who. in their FITS OF fury.
Sent the Christians TO the lions with
No stop for judge or jury?
GcC have read OF savage warriors who
When wrathful at some village.
Would burn 1t 10 the very ground.
or give il up for pillage?
You read how great Achilles
Sat sulking in his tent,
UntB they killed his roommate. when
In madness forth he went?
But the anger Of these people,
These terrors of the past.
Was as tiny baby's wall.
OR a zephyr TO a blast,
Compared with the wild rage OF one
Who hears the gorgeous din,
Which tells him-when he's left the
park
That the home teams on the win!
Oh anguish. agony. and grief.
Oh. torture grim and great.
When you have left the park and turn
Back TO the iron-barred gate
When you went. your club was losing
Just as you gain the street.
You hea. terrific whooping,
And the stamping OF the feet!
You hear swelling uproar,
As the batters slug the mark,
And you vainly beg re-entrance
70 the locked doors OF the park.
Oh. then's when blacklist fury,
ana angers venomed dart,
c. tearing through your bosom,
And rankle in your heart
When you've LETT the park, supposing
Your clubs chance is one IN ten.
AnG you hear the roars OF triumph,
And you can't get in again!
