It portrays a shattered man, gulping rum and gin, sinking into delirium, with children and families suffering while death and the devil grin. The verse appeals for self control, reflection, and reform, urging restraint and pride.
Professor Olmsted of Yale speaks to the Washington Society urging temperance and Sabbath Schools. He recalls childhood temptations, argues abstinence benefits study and duty, and warns against alcohol’s political debaucheries urging sober voters.
