A creedlesi man has never dwelt on earth,Morals and ereed like Chang and Eng exist,One and indissoluble—attempt.The twins to sever—death each form has kissed. Hut if decay is all the god you need,With License for cup bearer— have your way,Make lilc a carnival—live to press outThe last drop f.om your grapes, enjoy your day.Hut we, the simple folk, disdain your cr°ed;And glorying in our “idiocy”—hold fast,God's truth, against the Samsons you have hurled Upon our bastions-will they give at last?Jlurdlt/—to tight out God. you must dislodge Confucius, Christ, Mahomet, Brahma. You ,4rr hut a handful, try it; we are set As the Hashing stars in t lie airy fields of blue.
