THE GREAT IDEAL.
'1ris pride which causes US to mourn.
Existence here below
In summers heat could well be borne.
likewise I'm winters snow:
Fut scorning comforts We might win,
we yearn for worldly drosS.
Again reaounds the battles din,
Zach wants 70 be the boss.
The rosiest scene OF peace that's drawn
An autacrat reveals,
One ruler seems to tread upon
Another rulers heels.
And health or peace each esteems
This s IS sstatDs the sweetest q his draams
He wants TO be tho boss.
