rises in establishment!
Indignant I've bin s,t,in':
If granite could get Iabid, why
I'd swear you'd all pin bitten
Such monu mental Iaptures such
biiin' ebulition -
Cold waters all you'll get from me,
Placed in this ere position
just state the case Old Mrs. Bull
As lives the waters,
In course Of law and nalur', gets
A set of saucy daugh
A Teglar bakers dozen all
The world declares 'en BEAUTIES
Firs, thing they does they takes aad ,sstS
Their faces 'gainst their dAtiesl
Well, MIS-. Bull of course is vexed,
As most O. mothers would be,
To find her gals tuInn out
No better than they should be-
She flares up bout authority,
They hout in contradiction,
And Mrs. Bull goes ravin' mad
To strengthen her conviction
Next, just to DOZEN good, of course
She just begins to lather;
And blessed if they don't turn about
And pitch into her, rather
You talk about your lexington
My feelin's | can't smother;
1t beats the quaker gentleman
AS took and kicked his mother!
They keeps on not-a-mndin', push
From bad to worse, you see;
And ha wing tapd her claret why
Next thing they spills her tea;
Abuse her on the corners, and,
Wots more outrageous STILL
Got up another precious fight
On this here Bunker Hill
wonder what you're made Of? is
There any here a parent?
Or any soon may be?
Should say at once there Wernt.
This CROWN over Mrs. Bull,
Who right dlvine' could show too
AS VERY distinguished Yankee statesman
might observe,
&C Where dye expect to go tom
And wot nice example Since,
Just see the jolly rows;
There's not regal dame alive
Can keep quiet house!
It's Charter" Constitution "Right
o. Suffrage" Common Weal"
And last, and loudest round the world,
Swells lreland's cry +" Repeal"
Just ego ahead,'' as Shakespeare says,
Keep on your celebrations; :
You'll have it your own way at last,
No doubt, among the nations
With freed I'm your religion-why,
You'll soon convert the planet;
Each land may boast its sacred hill,
Capped by its spire Of granite
Or,
Your sin s very catching one
East, west, and north, and south, sirs;
And they may pile granite next
Upon the HiH Ct Ho,cfL, sirs
