ON JEFFERSON by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT

Poet Analysis

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.
