VOTES AND THE MAN!

"One Man, one Vote!" A fine, fair-sounding plan!

Would we could also get "One Vote, one _Man_!"

Then we might also reach, "One Vote, one value."

But, England, you have never found, nor shall you,

Alas! (despite the democracy's promoter)

That real manhood always marks the voter;

Or fearing neither knave's device, nor "rough" rage,

We'd trust the State to a _true_ Manhood Suffrage!
