First Line: Go wretch, resign thy presidential chair
Subject(s): History
Disclose thy secret measures, foul or fair;
Go search with curious eye for hornèd frogs
Go, wretch! Resign the Presidential chair,
'Mid the wild waste of Louisiana bogs;
Or where Ohio rolls his turbid stream
Dig for huge bones, thy glory and thy theme.
