The pen is mightier than the sword—we’re told,
But what is either to a sharpened Faber?
Paste-pot and scissors have a mighty hold
And save a sight of heavy mental labor
But if you want a power—sturdy, bold—
Archimedes’ hand-spike, or Damocles‘ sabre——
Give us a Washington, a Taylor or a Hoe
And spondulicks enough to make the critter go! * (1890:563)
