Ye who govern this mighty world and its mighty concerns with the engines of eloquence,⁠—who heat it, and cool it, and melt it, and mollify it,⁠⸺⁠and then harden it again to your purpose ⁠⸺⁠

Ye who wind and turn the passions with this great windlass, and, having done it, lead the owners of them, whither ye think meet⁠—

Ye, lastly, who drive⁠⸺⁠and why not, Ye also who are driven, like turkeys to market with a stick and a red clout⁠—meditate⁠—meditate, I beseech you, upon Trim’s hat.
