or what a ribbon's grace !
'Tis to the man, and the man's honest worth, The nation's loyalty in tears upsprings ; Through him the soil of labor shines henceforth High o'er the silken braideries of kings.
The mechanism of external forms — The shifts that courtiers put their bodies through, Were alien ways to him — his brawny arms Had other work than posturing to do!
69 THE PRAISE OF LINCOLN Born of the people, well he knew to grasp The wants and wishes of the weak and small; Therefore we hold hi...m with no shadow clasp — Therefore his name is household to us all.
Therefore we love him with a love apart From any fawning love of pedigree — His was the royal soul and mind and heart — ■ Not the poor outward shows of royalty.
Forgive us then, O friends, if we are slow To meet your recognition of his worth — We're jealous of the very tears that flow From eyes that never loved a humble hearth.
LINCOLN 5*. Weir Mitchell (Newport, October, 1891) Chained by stern duty to the rock of state, His spirit armed in mail of rugged mirth, Ever above, though ever near the earth, Yet felt his heart the vulture beaks that sate Base appetites, and foul with slander, wait Till the keen lightnings bring the awful hour When wounds and sufferings shall give them power.
