His own humble name to the breeze floated wide On banners that waved from the loftiest towers ; Saw it printed in colors and woven in flowers, And borne by processions that eagerly lent Their voices to glorify Jonathan Kent.
And the Deacon believed, the good, simple soul, That the people, grown sick of the rascals who stole And made themselves fat in all places of trust, Had arisen in might to hurl to the dust The false and the thieving, a pestilent swarm, And gladden the age . With the light o...f reform. And he thankfully thought of the hand of the Lord, Bringing honor to them who honored his word; 54 DEACON KENT IN POLITICS.
And wrought out a speech which was jerky and rough, Brim-full of hard logic, and figures enough, In which he endeavored with care to rehearse How things had been going from evil to worse, While men plain and honest had long stood apart For those who were skilled in political art. But now a new day was beginning to ihuvn, And public resources, so long overdrawn By leeches desirous of nothing but pelf, And caring for naught but the gorging of self, Henceforth would be handled by hands that were clean, And fingers no greenbacks could slip in be- tween.
