PETER FROST, OR THE POLAR LINGUIST.
To draw a long bow is a Mariner's glory,
That is, to narrate a moat marvellous story.
Ajoll Jack Tar, who all dangers had *heed
With brave Captain Parry, a Fact thus declar'd :
" Ice-bound during winter, and little to do,
We polish'd our Roots, and went forth to pursue
Amusement on shore ; but the frost so intense,
Induced us to build a snug hut for defence :
Plow mind me,—not long were we hous'd when we found
That all our jaw-tackle had run fast aground.
Our words were all froze in the air !—'tis no joke.
Arl not a voice heard, although eery man spoke.
'Twits strange, but not knowing what then was the matter,
We thought Polar wiazards set spell on our clatter,
So hasten don board. Well, six months after that
The very same hut in, some Esquimau: sat,
fln shore u we stroll'd, and a thaw just begs.,
When forth, talking English, they pwttly ran
' You've been to the Strand,' they , ajodgment not lacking,
You Boots are illumin'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 ago !

We breath'd not a syllable, •ongue-tied with awe,
A leam'd Polar hingui.t to find in the thaw,
And oft in the air while the voices were clacking,
The dissolving wordshironounc'd ' Warsen'sJet Blacking.'"
The Esquimaux caught thus our language, and my
Bepeat " Warren's Blacking," to Times latest day,
When some future Parry will guess, from the whole,
That Warren was known from the Smith to North Pole!
