But As Some Muskets So Contrive It
As Oft To Miss The Mark They Drive At,
And Though Well Aimed At Duck Or Plover,
Bear Wide, And Kick Their Owners Over.
But as some muskets so contrive it
As oft to miss the mark they drive at,
And though well aimed at duck or plover,
Bear wide, and kick their owners over.
-- John Trumbull (1750-1831)
-- McFingal, Canto i, Line 93
