A PARTY OF FOUR, OR CUNNING
EXE3I PLIF 1 ED.
" Three friends I have with me," a lunatic said,
Ills form In the Boots of his °nide as pourtray'd;
" Just so our protectors, two travellers more,
Thus they, you, and I, make a party of Four."
These Four then arriv'd at an Inn for the night,
The place of asylum at hand, all was right ;
For while in deep elumbershe Guide lay fast bound,
The Insane the Doctor's Certificate found,
And, speeding his way to the Mad•house,—" l're got
A friend,: he then said, " whom unfortunate lot
It is to be craid ;—I shall bring him apace ;
But, mind, he will wish to put me in his place,
By swearing that I urn the4nadrnan, not lum,
With other crack-brain'd unaccountable whim."
Ilia steps then retracing, the Lou he regain'd,
Asleep while the unconscious treble still remain'd,
And rousing him, both sallied firth to explore
The Country, till reaching the Asylem door,
When out catnetheKeeper,--" We Four," said theGaide,
" My friend, Two Protectors my Boots in beside."—
" You hear," cried the lunatic, " Reason is lacking,
lie sees two Protectors In Ira:twee Jet Blacking.'
" Aye, Aye," said the Keeper, then pounced on his prey,
And clad him at once In straitAnistenat array.
"Pis he," in amazz cried the Guide, " who is mad,
Not me !" bat attention was not to be hail ;
They shav'd his head closely and pinion'd him down,
scamp'ring the Insane in triumph to Town.
" You've murder d your Guide," cried his friends in despair,
" The Guide—why he's mad, as the maddest March hare,
And safely semr'd—so be after him racking—
The biter is bit, and through Warren's Jet Blacking."
