Walt Whitman's Caution.

To tThe States, or any one of  
 them, or any city of The  
 States, Resist much, Obey  
 little,
Once unquestioning obedience,  
 once fully enslaved,
Once fully enslaved, no nation,  
 race, city, of this earth,  
 ever afterward resumes  
 its liberty.—
[illegible]mn.   [begin leaf 1 verso]
