Analysis of Convalescent ['By good men's prayers see Grant restored!']
Ambrose Bierce 1842 (Meigs County) – 1914 (Chihuahua)
'By good men's prayers see Grant restored!'
Shouts Talmage, pious creature!
Yes, God, by supplication bored
From every droning preacher,
Exclaimed: 'So be it, tiresome crew
But I've a crow to pick with _you_.'
