AN UNDRESS UNIFORM

  The apparel does not proclaim the man—
  Polonius lied like a partisan,
  And Salomon still would a hero seem
  If (Heaven dispel the impossible dream!)
  He stood in a shroud on the hangman's trap,
  His eye burning holes in the black, black cap.
  And the crowd below would exclaim amain:
  "He's ready to fall for his country again!"
