A BALLAD.
by TON HOOD, il.

There liv'd an honest fisherman,
knew him passing we'll
Who dwell hard by 4 little pond,
Within 4 little dell.
A crave and quiet man was he,
Who loy'd his hook and rod,
So cucH ran his line oi life,
His nrlghb0rs thought 1t odd.
For science and for books he said,
lie never had wish
No school to HIM was worth tig,
Except school OF fish
This single minded fisherman
A double calling had
To tend his iocks in winter time,
In summer, fish for shad.
In short, this honest fisherman
A other tolls forsook,
And though no vagrant man was he,
lie ilv'd by HOOK and CROOK
All day that fisherman would sit
Upon an ancient log,
And gaze into the water, like
Some sedentary frog.
a cunning fisherman was he,
His ANGLES all were RIGHI-
And when lie scratch'd his aged POLL,
You'd know he'd got a BITE.
To charm the fish, he never spoke
Although ms Voice was fine
lie found the most convenient way
Was just to drop a line
And many 'gudgeon' oi the pond.
Ii made TO speak TO day,
Would own, with grief, tins angler had
4 mighty taking ray
One day while fishing on the log,
He mourned his want oi luck
When suddenly he felt bite,
And Jerking--caught a duck.
Alas! that day the fisherman
Had taken too much groP,
And being but a landsmnn, too,
He couldn't KEEP THE 100
In vain he stroyc, with oil his might,
And tried 10 gain the shore
Down, down, he went, to feed the fish
He'd baited oil before,
The moral Of this moumiul tale
To all Is plain and clear
a single drop too much of rum
May make watefy BIER.
And he who will not sign the pledge
And keep the promise fat,
May be, IN spite u fate,a srITF
