付記

彼らは彼の投票権を奪い、 代わりに与えた。 パンを得る権利を、彼が稼いだ時に。 しかし無駄だ。 哀れな魂は「ボス」を求めて叫び、 再び来て、彼の稼ぎを分け与えるのを待っている。 オッフェンバッハ・シュッツ

Original

A Potomac tribesman who exchanged the privilege of governing himself for the advantage of good government. In justice to him it should be said that he did not want to.

Additional notes

They took away his vote and gave instead The right, when he had earned, to eat his bread. In vain—he clamors for his "boss," pour soul, To come again and part him from his roll. Offenbach Stutz
