THE CHALLENGE.

THE CHALLENGE.
AN OLD JOKE TO A NEW TUNE.
THE contest had ceas'd, the cannon no more
With its thunder and smoke fill'd the air,
Bravest blood from the scuppers no longer did pour
The flag for truce was aloft seen to soar,
And each squadron haupd off to repair.
Indeed 'twa. now time, many ships were now
wrecks,
Seven sinking and FIVE were on fire
Limbs, splinters and carcases cover the decks,
Not a ship had escaped the engagements effects,
Not hull remained entire.
For like dragons they'd fought, whatever inspr'd,
Whether honor, pride, brandy or booty;
With Nelson's fam'd motto each bosom was fir'd,
For every man then-did his duty.
Jack Ratline, tar, whom the rage Of the fight
Nor the carnage amidst it Could dread;
Now resolv'd to exhibit the foe new sight,
Gain'd the mast of the Africa's towering height,
And, behold stood aloft on his head !
The Dutchmen, aghast, stood amaz'd at the feat,
Twas skil's proud defiance to all;
Is there none, cries their captain, the challenge
tomeet,
And must those poltroons by activity beat,
When they cannot by powder and ball
A Dutchman, at last, for the pride OF his ship,
Swore to venture and hazard his crown;
To the truck ofthe manmast he then took trip
But, whether his head or his heels gave the slip,
He soon comes in somersets down
Thro' lifts, stays and braces, he tumbles his way,
The gangway then brought up his fall
By miracle sav'd, he shook off his dismay,
Cleared his pipes and his senses for something TO
say,
And, to bully, thus bravely did bawl.
6 Up aloft there, ye lubbers, cock, monkey and
cat,
challenge you all to a man,
I've shown you caper worth fifty by Jack,
Beat beat by the powers, dead, downright and
For, blast ye, do that if you can"
S Sorrow, though dark, is but as NE morning
cloud"
HAST thou seen the cloud of morning
Veil with gloom the azure sky;
Hast thou marked the rosy dawning,
Wrapt in boding darkness fly
Thus each hope is heeting ever,
Pleasure meets US soon to sever
Hast thou seen the tempest over
Radiant suns again illume 1;
Threatening storms no longer hover,
Nature buds with fresher bloom
Thus, through darkest clouds OF even,
Smiles the opening dawn of Heaven
