I stand for all that's good and
pure and this, our country, can't en-
dure if you should turn me down;
beneath my coat and vest and things
| have a handsome pair of wings,
and in my grip crown. Unless you
choose me as your guide you re pref
ty sure to wander wide in morass,
fen and swamp; but if you choose
me for your chief III lead you from
this gloom and grief to splendor and
to pomp. All other candidates who
beg your votes and try to pull your
leg are wolves in sleeps array; on
Virtue l have placed my brand; True
Worth is eating from my hand, as
horses eat their hay. I am the pee
pulls only friend; if I'm defeated
there's an end to all their earthly
hopes; the government our fathers
built vii. get the cleaver to the h1lt,
and tumble through the ropes. II
I'm defeated anarchy will sweep this
country of the free, our homesteads
be laid waste; the husbandmen will
wade in blood, the clergyman throw
gobs of mud. the printer eat his
paste. The rivers all will backward
flow, the garden sass refuse to grow,
there'll be no prunes or figs; the
hlighted trees will wilt and die, the
cows and wells will all go dry, the
hens will hatch out pigs. To dodge
this dire catastrophe you'll simply
have to vote for me and help along
my boom, for alone can be the
shield, the sword and buckler you
must WELD to shun this awful doom!
