Of Politics
All Demagogues depend on Witless Votes;
For Sheep, as Shepherds know, will follow Goats.
The Statesman whom a Nation most reveres
Is he that Leads, noThe that Domineers.
C ONFUSION and Calamity are bred
Where the Head Figure is a Figurehead.
Rules and Laws, however Men shall make them,
Some will Keep them, some will always Break them.
W OULD you, when Men in hostile Ranks are thronged,
Be with the Right? Be always with the Wronged.
