CONTEMPLATION.

An order to adore him.

Good England's queen is only seen,

The nation has gone past her.

Ulysses Grant is heard to want

Third term, and to be master.

In far Chinee they still drink tea,

And worship tinselled pictures.

In Americ the South they seek

To make republics fixtures.

So, since the world thus far has whirled

Without change of direction,

Like Brahma I 'll sit in the sky

And think on my perfection.
