They say the quarrel's settled now, for my part I've

At any rate I'm used upI can't do no more fghtn.
The only chance that's left 10 me is politics or writiu:
Now the peoples got TO have mlingtary man

The canddatn line you know, would suit me to a II
And ell lose twun hurt my lodge another flea;

You know that's what never dd-except the other

So useful as a wooden eg-except wooden head;
There's nothin Snt poppy lar-(why its perfect sin
TO think what Mexico has paid for SANITY Anny's pin j
then i halnt got no principles, and, Sence was knee
