I. Donn Piatt -- of Mac-o-chee, -- / Not the one of History, / Who, with flaming tongue and pen, / Scathes the vanities of men; / Not the one whose biting wit / Cuts pretense and etches it / On the brazen brow that dares / Filch the laurel that it wears: / Not the Donn Piatt whose praise / Echoes in the noisy ways / Of the faction, onward led / By the statesman! -- But, instead, / Give the simple man to me, -- / Donn Piatt of Mac-o-chee!
