Great satire must have a standard; and Lowell revealed his in the very first number and in one line: "'T aint your eppylets an' feathers Make the thing a grain more right." Some readers to-day dislike the Yankee dialect of these verses.
A little iv it lifts ye out iv th' mud where chance has thrown ye; a little more makes ye think th' stains on ye'er coat ar-re eppylets; a little more dhrops ye back into th' mud again. It's a frind to thim that ar-re cold to it an' an inimy to those that love it most. It welcomes thim in an' thrips thim as they go out. I tell ye 'tis a threacherous dhrug an' it oughtn't to be given to ivry man.
