The paper which followed was

And when you have digested that,
Then pause and take another.
The world would run If you were dead

With just the same old rate of speed.
And just as smooth motion.
The garden truck would be as green.
The hens would keep on laying.
The farmers would be just as strong
For harvesting and haying.
The cars would still run on the track;
Tie boats would keep on floating.
And men would still be wise enough
For light and heavy voting.
The men who worked in field and mine,
Would still be quite as busy
: Providing food and other things
For Sarah, Jane and Lizzy.
And congress would keep bobbing round,
Its knotty woodpile saving,
Forgetting that its pay was there
Illustrating for the drawing.
o
So take tumble and reduce
That swelling meath your bonnet.
You're not the flywheel of the works,
You're just fly upon it.
The earth was jogging right along
Before you ever hit it.
And it will still be going some
When you have up and quit it.
