MAN!

One that IS happy in bis height:
And one that. in a nations night.

We charge you. not with Gelds unwon,
Nor headlong deaths against the darkeued sun.
But with lightness worse than dread;
That you but laushsd. who should have led.
And t1pped Ike danccrs amid az our dead
You for no failure We impeach.

When we demanded words Of flame.
