POEM.
A lion with lambkin formed treaty,
To rule the nation it suited them.
The formers temp rament rather hnay;
A9 Low d TO : rule the roast ast-exait--condefnn
Though opposiiion all bis plons should meet, ne
lthflerceness would pposins currents stem;
Mnlst juggler like, iis partner, pnre knave
Would chuckIe as he made his partner rava
Enlrsiins, therefore, quite 4 run,rous band
rb sbHas aaS wtl Of hand
scicc,ed from that breed Of hrnsan jokes-
Deiacing il Ike fungi on old oaks.
Thus we ecompos q tns! heot-crineing set
Hignt in hstory-the Kitchen Cabinet!
Resembling pigs, who never eat their Gil,
These ogues, dissatisfied with what they got,
Were / cottcnt although :hey Tic Iick'd tho pot;
Blu! we,t forasins on the puedc sson;
And did rot care wherein they cat-or what
Slowing all plblic viands ncatn Their jackets,
Preparing for a Storm ike out bound packets.
Nor yet the hali-but still there were few
Who saw the lambslns ann was to cajoo;
:. Tho kitchen cabinet, they full well know.
For knaves, and hrst rate ones, were ev'ry soul
He who has r ing ID The world, has never met
Such great unhanss" as this same cabinet
Astra,aer a blieve. to come among our nation,
That yilest rogues thought est patriots;
That twas necessary TO public station,
Or in Indian treaties make reservation,
Giving pubIle agents iertll sp.ts.
But NO To those who do no. care a damn,
Who do not praise the lion and the lamb
Yetwo weal--two champion, freedom found
whoeves to the pi:tors mouth would stand,
Ard cause the vau.icd welkin to rosound
With cries and groans for their unh lpPy landi
Two patriots they were. but not profound
Encut tse hearty sss ,,ss ssmpsrs su; 70 command;
Sudden IN auarel'-not so bright as brave.
The people had a cora crib right well stord,
An eyc-sere 10 hangry national rats;
And posted the do,0n stairs cabinet cats.
AnS has cat M mouse sy that h.rd
So managed they all o her thieves To lo.
And say'd the public peli-so share hse spoiL
A canning fay-yet not so cunning neither.
Ma 10 tnsnds With ,s s ahs lamb an and the lion;
Like unto priests OF our mast holy Zion,
VINO ship God and Mammon-both either
so that they have luyurant beds to lie
Living poInp amid starving people,
In houses high as chufehcs-save the steeplc.
