with muscles on his arms
like a bag of snakes?

What prickly plant grows on his cheeks?
What is this voice as deep as a dog?”

O Duty! if that name thou love,
Who art a light to guide, a rod
To check the erring, and reprove;”

“Mind not the old man beseeching the young man;
Let not the childs voice be heard, nor the mothers entreaties;
Make even the trestles to shake the dead, where they lie awaiting
the hearses,
So strong you thump, O terrible drumsso loud you bugles blow.”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
