"... Beneath the rule of men entirely great
The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold
The arch-enchanter's wand!--Itself a nothing--
But taking sorcery from the master-hand
To paralyze the Caesars--and to strike
The loud earth breathless!--Take away the sword--

It gives me pleasure to acknowledge the kindness of Mr. Edwin A.
