Excerpt from Songs and Satires It is Love. To my readers and friends I will prove It is love rules the world of mankind, Though it may not be angelic love, It is love, none the less, you will find. It is love prompts the lowly to bear What the haughty and rich may decree, It is love makes the homely seem fair, Makes the Jew and the gentile agree. It is love prompts the statesman to serve In our congress, promulgating laws, It is love gives the patriot nerve To do battle in liberty's cause. It is love prompts the parson to plead, And to struggle our spirits to save. It is love tells the doctor to bleed, And the sexton to dig us a grave. It is love makes me now rack my brain Till my judgment would fly through the rents, It is love, yes, strong love, I maintain, With us all, love of dollars and cents.
