     summary: Creeping along the wall to the door, he said, 'I should like to know two things: one is, who will be prison governor after me? In the margin is added: 'While Balcke filled the place of prison governor, he drank my wine at every meal, which had formerly fallen to the tower warder, the coachman, or the prisoner Christian, when the old prison governor had not wished for it, so that this also contributed to Balcke's dismissal.'

     summary: Just to all men, to all men kind and true; Conspicuous as a giant yet comely to the view; Loved by all who know him, trusted everywhere; Always more than willing to ease his fellow's care; Never harsh or cruel, never false or base; Going in and coming out among those in disgrace, Earning from each prisoner's heart the meed of honest praise; None condemn his actions, none despise his ways; By his children reverenced, by his wife adored; Every friend is welcome at his ample board; Rich in all that makes a _man_, poor alone in hate; God of Mercy bless the man who nightly guards our fate; Ever may he fill the post that wisdom has assigned, Ruling all, as now he does, by strength of heart and mind. Yet hears him boast his freedom, laud his reasoning power; Rule all he can with iron hand, and _finite_ judgment shower; Sees all the devious, hidden paths by sinful mortals trod Where _human_ law and custom dare ostracise a god; Yet knows a germ of goodness, deep in the human breast, Is living in the worst of men however much depressed.

     summary: My kind but scorn your dull success-- Your subtle ways to win, We eat our hearts in solitude Or sear our souls with sin; Yet we are better men than you Who fit so smugly in. Once more thy sons march down the ancient street Led by pale men from silent Pere la Chaise; Once more La Carmignole--La Marseillaise Blend with the war drum's quick and angry beat.

     summary: For prison life with its endless privations and restrictions makes one rebellious. They will know nothing of life till they do,--and natures like his can realise it.
