PETER FROST, OR THE POLAR LINGUIST
To draw a long bow is a Mariner's glory,
That is, to narrate a most marvellous story.
A jolly Jack Tar, who all danfers had shar'd
With brave Captain Parry, a Fact thus declu'd
" Ice-bound during winter, and little to do,
We polish'd our Boots, and went forth to pursue

Amusement on shore ; but the float so intense,
Induced us to build a snug hut for defence :
Now mind me,—not long were we hous'd when we found 1
That all our jaw-tackle had run fast around.
Our words were all froze in the air !—tis no joke.
And not a voice heard, although cv'ry man spoke.
'Tway strange, but not knowing what then was the matter,
We thought Polar wilt:awls set spell on our clatter,
So hasten'd on board. Well, six months after that
The very same hut in, some Esquimau: sat,
On shore as we stroll'd, and a thaw just begau,
When forth, talking English, they. presently ran !
You've been to the Strand,' they said, • judgmentnot lacking,
Your Boots are illurnin'd by Warren's Jet Blacking.'
These words by the natives were often repeated,—
When entering the hut our amaze was completed.
For, thawed into utterance we heard the full flow
Of sentences spoken there six months ego.!—
We breaded not a syllable, tongue-tied with awe,
A learn'd Polar Linguist to find in the thaw,
And oft in the air while the voices were clacking,
The dissolving words,pronouned Warren'sJet-Illaeking.'"
The Esquimaux etug lt thus our language, and may
Repeat " Warren's Blacking," to Tiene's latest day,
. When some future Parry will guess, from the whole,
That Warren was known front the South to North Pole!

ROBERT WARREN, 30, Strand, London; and sold in every
Town in the Kingdom.
