No balls for me, without my Bat
NV heart think viii burst one
And must YOU, Bat, submit to fate,
And be the Peggy's second mate,
Instead Of Betsey's first onei
And YOU must leave your home again,
For seas that rage with might and MAN,"
And gales all wild and windy;
You must give your Margate trip,
And 90 in that tremendous ship
And all the way to Indy!
And this for money dirty dross!
ga rolling stone collects no moss"
Az Sisyphus can tell you -
Well, we'll good bye my little man,
Write me as often as you can
Ofevery thing befell you.
You must to Madeira 60
o! apropos; do let me know,
In case the compass varies,
And takes you to Canary Isles,
THE map don't make it many miles u
Are all the birds Canaries
Be careful how you pass the line''-
Though now it must be quite twine;
So many vessels trouble =
And mind you clear the Cape"-(what stuff
Asifth Cape weren't large enough,
That you must go-and double itD
Ifyou should stop there, where the wine,
You must be sure, is genuine,
Of course you'll buy dozen;
Next parcel that you're sending home,
Please let one nice pint-bottle come
For Mrs. Smith-my cousin.
Dear Bat take care, when you embark
At Indy, Of that nasty shark
That steals so sly and stealthy;
For DR.. Shaw, the traveller, writes,
A fall-grown sharks enormous bites
Peculiarly unhealthy!
Do crocodiles there squeal and squall
And those great elephants-are all
Cut up for Indy-rubber
And do the whales, big babies cry
Fountains Of tears from either eye
When you produce their blubber?
Alas ! fear when you arrive
At Indy If you do alive,l-
Your love will soon grow duller;
All! you yourself, Pm certain, you,
Chamelion-like, will change your hue,
And catch the copper-colour
Oh. Bat! for your poor Betsey's sake,
Keep clear of tiger, Jungle, snake,
Heat, cholera. and river!
Live and let live"-is sage advice,
My dearest boy, you'll not lice nice
When you've destroyed your Eoer
Soon may you bring across the seas,
Peru's whole treasure in rupees,
And come back fresh and fat, love;
But should you die, perhaps you willy
Better lie quiet there, and still
Don't be a Vampire, Bat, love.
