THE ARCHIMEDES.

TUNE--" Through Erin's Isle.'
A sage of yore at Syracuse,
Who dealt in mathematics,
Invented a machine to pump
Spring water to his attics;
A wondrous screw the water drew,
By spiral revolution,
And did the sage's thirst assuae..-,,
Or serve him with
they who came that way,
And daily-
The mighty screw. when viewing,
In cup and tttl all blessed the man,
And il-fank success to screwing.
Long age! lied, the sage was dead,
11aiji.4 the pump was rotten ;
The good old screw, its maker too,
Were well nigh both forgotten.
When a youth who sprang from British blood,
One night when be was dreaming,
In fancy crossed the channel's flood
With screws applied to steaming ;
And from his dream he took the scheme,
And screwing now his creed is;
So screw along became the song ;
Success to Archimedes
One fine spying n.orn, at early dawn,
The youth—we could'ot find him;
He'd gone afloat in a little boat,
With his magic screw behind him ;
We hailed him as we tacked about,
To ask Vl hat he w s doing ;
Said he, " ' My mother knows I'm out,'
I'm only going screwing ;
And screw along shall be my song,
And if you doubt the plan, boys,
Get up your steam and try the scheme,
And catch me if you can, boys."
We scanned his craft all fore and aft,
We saw his genius clever;
hrec shouts we gave clung the wave,
With—" May he screw for ever !"
With steam and sail of no avail,
We tried to catch him fl. ing ;
We tried till night, and so we might,—
We found 'twas no use trying.
So screw along became the song,
And screwine still the creed is ;
In bumpers true we drink the screw,
And England's Archimedes.
His work is done,—his laurel's wcn,—
And, sung through every nation,
The name of Smith must be forthwith
The wide world's admiration.
Philosophy, with vacant eye,
Is lost in iltnt wonder;
And Theory says, " Really I
I'm and I knock under."
Su screw along shall be tbo song,
For screwing now the creed is ;
In bumpers true we drink the screw,
And England's Archimedes.
Then myriads flocked to see the ark
That held the screw so tightly;
And Beauty came to bless the bark
That crossed the wave so lightly :
And bright blue eyes lit up the decks,
Afraid of no more losses,
And screws were hung on ladies' necks,
And worn instead of crosses.
