RUSTICUS IN PLAIN ENGLISH, or A Modern Poem on Liberty,
translated from the original Prosa-metro-bombast of
Rusticus.
  Truth took a nap--I wonder at her!
  Why, what the deuce could be the matter?
  The wind was southerly, perhaps;
  And sleep his drowsy mantle wraps
  O'er Gods above and men below, 
  As Homer told us long ago.
