They call II here the Speakers sea-
The Speaker he was IN it,

But only ior a minute;
The thing. miscall'd rs others are

By hdlC, as other men do,

III doEe some day.
Just al hi, feet, in olcih Of green.
There table stpnding,
hud several men were yuund IL seen,
Whu pen with uL were handling
One rose, aud with steutorian throat,
Read out some Clishnia- claver.
Two others seemed as taking i-.;e
OF all they did palaver,
Or read that day.
Aud now and then some man came ont
And strutted 10 the table,
I'm thinking whit he was about
To tell, he'd not be able
He'd seat himself with poppous air,
And write many letters,
Thinks my lad, you'd hest take care,
Such things haze Killed your 5e!ters,
Before this day.
BIT wi,a. surprized me most Of all,
And what thought improper,
Was constant motion bout the Hall,
And want Uf some mouth stopper
AMI men whom we have proudly put
In that august Assembly,
So cram their ct with plum and nut
They mus, tei " WooI'y Ua,,,bl,.."
think some day.
Bc.iies- there .s another thing.
WHEN each should te attending;
They seem 10 give their fancy wing
And glarees up are sending
! iIiuk then necks mnst gel cric.s
A gall'ry ward they've ST. aiming,
Such wicktd thought; and boyish tfick
G.av men should be dsdaining
On such day.
Du, Heavens! ii is lovely sight,
My'frieud.. must excuse ye,
Those charming Gnts Of red and white
My well enough confuse ye-
How could We turn TO Earth your ere.
Aud look on mans COARSE features
When stars were s,tcTing in the skies
And such trsnsotDdent creatures
Were seen that day!
How would !, do to pass a law,
a Sale law, in iail,ry,
BY which rsnact that lss.es tray
Should not ascend the eallery?-
How many votes dye thuk 'twould g.,
Not one DO protest
But Pegasus, cone, cease curvet,
think we've done our hest
ToPlease Til. day.
