Thus spoke the Demon (late called “multifaced”
By multo-scribbling Southey). “Then we'll call
One or two persons of the myriads placed
Around our congress, and dispense with all
The rest,” quoth Michael: “Who may be so graced
As to speak first? there's choice enough—who shall
It be?” Then Satan answered, “There are many;
But you may choose Jack Wilkes as well as any.”
