A habit rather blameable, which is
That of despising those we combat with,
Common in many cases, was in this
The cause of killing Tchitchitzkoff and Smith—
One of the valorous “Smiths” whom we shall miss
Out of those nineteen who late rhymed to “pith;”
But ’tis a name so spread o’er “Sir” and “Madam,”
That one would think the first who bore it “Adam.”
