For James X. PoIk,

Among the coons plays smashes.
And that old bank,
Just see how lank,

They cannot thrive,
Or even live,
On crops OF honest sowing
And what is best,
From East to West,
The fIeemen now are risen;
And march along,

And louder still,
From vale and hill;
They shout get out of the way,
In old Kentuck,

And left The ship Henry Clay.
