THE VILEST FIEND OF ALL. (Thos. Bracken.) "Oh! Thou invisible sph'it of wine, if thou hast no name to be known by, let us call thee DEVlL."— 'Othello. False spirit! take thy fiendish shape, Thy name is demon, .and not wine; Durst thou cling to the purple grape? Duret thou seek shelter 'neath the vine? ' ' Nay, cling ointo thy patron— Death, . And hide thee 'neath his blackest pall; Throughout Creation's length . and breadth, Thou art tfie vilest fiend of all. What are thy crimes? Go, ask thegra,ve, That, yawning, Avaita its lifeless olodi — Thy murdered serf, thy poisoned slave, A type, once, of the living God ; ' , Tlie shrieks within the anaruac's cell, The chains cliitks 'yond the prison's wall, The wails and groans of millions tell — Thou art die vilest fiend of all. ■ What are thy crimes? You eouless thing Was once God's image, pure and fair; Yea, fiend, as witnesses I'll bring, Lust, hatred, murder^ and despair To prove thy guilt! The fiercest flame That burns below when sinners fall, , Is fed by thee, remorse and shame Proclaim thee Vilest fiend of all. What are the crimes? thy counsel's' pl«a Is this: Thou'rt good, and we should prize Heaven's gifts ; but I do view m theo A cruel deeil m disguise; Before theo, peace and. comfort fly, Replaced by senseless feud and brawl; Near thefi, truth, love, and honor die^ — Thou art the vilest fiend; of all. Oh, God of Justice! God of Right ! Wliy is the world so full of woe? Why are souls -withered by this blight? Is this the working of Thy foe — ' j The rebel eire qf sin and crime; . ' | Who makes Thy likeness, Man, Iris thrall? • ' ' - • ' • Oh, Father ! Shield our ' new -born clime From this, the Vilest Fiend of All. ELECTORS ! Thomas Bracken's' enemy is yours.
