ON THE REEF.
May all the blessings pen write
Around thee centre and unite,
And never lack good appetite,
Or be without crust to bite
When thou sitst down to dine.
May thy mustache be dark as night;
Thy intellect as buttons bright;
Thy pockets heavy, conf cience light,
And teeth and dicky lilly white
AS this pale brow of mine.
Be neither rude nor too polite,
The ladies' friend nd favorite;
But never be that lucklsss wight,
To q pair Of boots too tight
And pinch them toes Of thine
And when thou salliest forth at night,
Thy cigar thy only light
may some fairy imp or sprte,
Still guide thee on thy way Alright,
And keep thee from much wins.
This is the prayer of ons who might
Have found favor In thy sight,
The daughter of an Israelite;
But now, alas forgotten quite,
