[In the middle of a 2 1/2 column article entitled "An Essay
on Ambition"]
The ghastly head, low rolling in the dust--
The tongue, to satiate female phrenzy--torn, 
The bleeding heart yet reeking
Spake the end of eloquence and virtue.--
. . . [5 lines]
Let the calm eye survey this earthly ball, 
See Kingdoms round them verging to their fall;
What spring had promis'd and what autumn yields, 
The bread of thousands ravish'd from their fields:
. . . [4 lines]
