Much Ado About Nothing.

Men usually tremble
Before the mighty power
That holds a sway tyrannic
Upon their day and hour.
But queer is human nature
And wonderful to view
For they will shake and shiver
Before a cipher, too.
The chill will enter in them
And freeze their very bones.
Their very teeth will chatter
And mock their bravest tones,
This hapleSS state befallS them
And turns them stiff and stark
When on a winter morning
They see the zero mark.
