PLUTO AND THE DISEASES.
OLD Pluto lately call'd his clan
or agents round him TO 4 man,
To kGow al once the reason why
The Yankees take SO long 10 die;
Quoih he, "Alas there was time,
They all came posting IN their pru,e,
But now think the villains try
With old Methuselah To vie:
Since all they do is done with speed,
But dying fast to serve cur need;
For in their land OF notions cunning
OF pushing, crushing, driving, duraing,
Upon my conscence) II would seem,
All things but dying went by steam,
So now they hardly recompense US,
For making out the yearly census
Thus | have called you in a row,
The reason of this fact IL show,
That re may plan some method clever,
To coax them here as fast as ever,
and help our friends 10 cut a shine,
Who make great coats Of bits Of pine.
Sir Fever, you begin The story,
That robs your names of half their glory
My liege, own with many sigh,
cam persuade the rogues 10 due;
bake, and roast, and Try, and stew them,
pour hot lava through and through Them,
Aud Of their heads with eager pains,
Hot ovens make 10 burn their brains;
But al! in vain, for as | think
To give fare his final pink,
The villain ttowns calm defiance,
And swallows with profound reliance,
A dose of things called Peters Pills,
Which all my bubbIing lava chlIIs,
And instant stops the work of slaughter,
And leaves his blood as pure as water"
Here grim Dyspepsia put his chat IN,
"My lIege-my Irge, III" truth he's pat in,
For even my plans are oft demolished,
BY that trceivers arts so p"lished;
j choke the s!u,nach-sour the chyle,
Disend The spleen. disturb the bite,
And guard 50 well each leak and drain,
That all that enters must remain;
Bet then when all is smooth and nice,
To send my JOB home in tric,,
lie takes those awful pills Of Peters,
AS gaiiy as glass Of biiteIs,
Aud all my agents, left ard right
Axe pot to instantaneous flight
Indeed ii sometimes makes me laugh,
70 see the Iuscals scampering of
Now Palsy pale his voice nlruded,
I" too, great Pluto, am included,
In the unfortunate diseases
] take my man and grippe his bowels,
Though STUPID the while in smoking towels,
Aud shake him as the ilt increases,
Until you'd think he'd tali'to pieces;
Blu, when hope in earth 10 cram him,
in steps that DR. Peters--d--n him,
And makes my patient, N shock,
AS sound and steady as rock
"And l., qnoth Jaundice, ado my best
To kill, but fail Ike ali the rest,
As when those pills begin 10 play,
must DC off like yesterday
For soon the cheeks marked for DOOM
Begin like any rose 10 bloom"
Groan'd Coc-"hly complaints The same,
And am losing all my fame;
Those Pills Of Peters, I'm inclined
To think, pervade the very wind,
For w:sresoe' cr 90 to work,
They fall upon ME like Turk:
So-(sIi UNI quail 10 the strife)
! run away 10 save my life
And if The past were bound to curse,
The future will be ten times worse;
For by patented machine,
Which in Gotham late have seen,
He makes with ease, I've heard him say,
Eve hundred thousand pills day!
So that the chance is very small,
OF people dying there at ALL
Here Heauache-Taps. wo.m--lndi ges;ion,
And Gout-by turns took upthe question;
Then followed ten blue devils, whining,
With scurvy, Ague, and Plague rcpning,
At that unsparirg scouEage of Ills
By all men known as "PErERs' Puts"
The king of terrors look d the while,
As though his soul were turn'd 10 bile;
And poured ten thousand oaths oi dead,
On the devoted Doctors head;
Then thus ADDRESSED the gentle crew;
"Sweet evils this will never do,
yuur tvrari must be hrIbed he Death
Or there's an end TO losing brcah,
AT least if he's above temptation,
The only way to save the nation,
Ia by Yankee speculation
For instance, pay the rogucs, so pry;ns,
So many dollars each for dying;
Or (Which the end as well fulfils.)
For swearing against PETERS Puts"
Up whirrd at once that hungry pack,
With Death fresh mounted at their back,
All shreking wild with hope and will,
For vengeance on the gallant pill.
And hence, all We who'd fam resort,
For cash in hands, TO Pu,os court,
Step forth al once, nor wal, for thinking,
But take so pills, and die like winking.
Blu, We, who'd laugh at Cholic grim:--
Who'd shake old Gou; from breast or limb;
Who'd make slow fever skip away
As n:mbly as a hunted flea;
Who'd drive hot Headache from your noodle;
w ho'd make both Spleen mud Scuryy toddle;
Who'd force Dull Care to take trip;
Or give Old Death himself the slip;
Come one, come ali, and have YOUR wills,
By PArRosIsISG PETERS PILLS.
