Epigram On The Late Reform And The Whig Administration

Topics: classic

Reform! reform! cries out the longing nation; The people hail their own-elected House; On tiptoe stands the general expectation: What the grand doings of the Administration? Lo! from the labouring mountain creeps a mouse! * * * * * Metaphysical Sages Have writ many pages, To decide if the Mind Be Spirit or Matter: How strange! that in the pages Of these metaphysical sages We so seldom can find Mind, Spirit, or Matter!
