408. Portrait of the President. ☞

R.A.'s are _raised_ to power: and, presto, bang!

"On _inner_ walls the cry is still 'they _hang_;'"

While many a heavy sigh the artists fetch,

"To have them _hang_ our pictures is no _ketch_."

For half their sins did justice prompt the elves,

Half the R.A. array would hang themselves!
