for he himself does not know He has way Of going off

would be law unto himself if he recognized any law,
which he doesn't He does not travel any hard surfaced
road in politics or out of it, but takes through the woods
and blazes his own trail if he leaves any, What the

Or done, is naught to what she'll say do
The oldest thing on recOrd-and yet new"
