I wonder (although Mars no doubt’s a god I

Praise) if a man’s name in a bulletin

May make up for a bullet in his body?

I hope this little question is no sin,

Because, though I am but a simple noddy,

I think one Shakespeare puts the same thought in

The mouth of some one in his plays so doting,

Which many people pass for wits by quoting.
