man
(devil) | MAN, n. An animal so lost in rapturous contemplation of what he
thinks he is as to overlook what he indubitably ought to be. His
chief occupation is extermination of other animals and his own
species, which, however, multiplies with such insistent rapidity as to
infest the whole habitable earth and Canada.
When the world was young and Man was new,
And everything was pleasant,
Distinctions Nature never drew
'Mongst kings and priest and peasant.
We're not that way at present,
Save here in this Republic, where
We have that old regime,
For all are kings, however bare
Their backs, howe'er extreme
Their hunger. And, indeed, each has a voice
To accept the tyrant of his party's choice.
A citizen who would not vote,
And, therefore, was detested,
Was one day with a tarry coat
(With feathers backed and breasted)
By patriots invested.
"It is your duty," cried the crowd,
"Your ballot true to cast
For the man o' your choice." He humbly bowed,
And explained his wicked past:
"That's what I very gladly would have done,
Dear patriots, but he has never run."
Apperton Duke

MAN
(bouvier) | MAN. A human being. This definition includes not only the adult male sex of
the human species, but women and children; examples: "of offences against
man, some are more immediately against the king, other's more immediately
against the subject." Hawk. P. C. book 1, c. 2, s. 1. Offences against the
life of man come under the general name of homicide, which in our law
signifies the killing of a man by a man." Id. book 1, c. 8, s. 2.
2. In a more confined sense, man means a person of the male sex; and
sometimes it signifies a male of the human species above the age of puberty.
Vide Rape. It was considered in the civil or Roman law, that although man
and person are synonymous in grammar, they had a different acceptation in
law; all persons were men, but all men, for example, slaves, were not
persons, but things. Vide Barr. on the Stat. 216, note.
