Thus spoke the Demon (late called "multifaced"[531]

By multo-scribbling Southey). "Then we'll call

One or two persons of the myriads placed

Around our congress, and dispense with all

The rest," quoth Michael: "Who may be so graced

As to speak first? there's choice enough—who shall

It be?" Then Satan answered, "There are many;

But you may choose Jack Wilkes as well as any."
