Predicts the ruin of the State.

A skylark wounded on the wing,
A cherubim does cease to sing. — William Blake

The housekeeper, the hunter, every one
According to the gift which bounteous nature
Hath in him closed. — William Shakespeare

The murderous buckshot and the bullets,
All these I feel or am. — Walt Whitman
