THE TOWER;
OR, SUPERSTITION' SUBDUED.
' 'ATE Towers of Julius, London's lasting shame,
With many a foul and midnight murder fed,'
A Sentry, who the Odes of Gray had read,
The plaintive Bard, immortalized by Fame—
This Sentry yet to superstition prone,
Mus'd on each deed of death,—the fancied moan
Of slaughter'd victim strikes the list'ning ear,
And now, in thought, the ghastly shades appear.
His mind these dread ideas while possessing,
Pond'ring the mode of properly addressing
The airy visitants, their forms if rearing,
An Officer, his vigilance attackhag,
Appeared, in Boots illunid by Wkamur's BLACZINC,
The Sentry's image in the Jet appearing.
Undaunted,' Who goes there?' the Sentry cried—
' A Friend !'—a low, sepulchral voice, replied.
4 Not so, if right I guess, .no friend of mine-- •
Advance, one only—give the Countersign I'
The Sentry's image in the Jet's fine hue
Now shone—A tiny Imp's dark form to view !
' One !' cried the Officer, Pray where's the other?'
Close by your cloven foot I spy another,'
The Sentry said, So courteous Mister Devil,
• With all ypur candying tongue and manners civil,
For once your sul:tlety with match is fitted ;
' A British Soldier bas your art outwitted.'
Ilia strange belief and dauntless courage noted,
The Sentry late now Serjeant stands prom oted ;
The Tower now no glaring host attacking,
Ezoreis'd All—by WAsars s splendid BLACMING !
