HAMLET.
Oh, my prophetic soul Fat Lewis.
GHOsT

GHOST.
That same old fat and Jolly gentleman,
With promises of many offices,
Won to his ways the Baltimore Convention,
And caused that Polk TO get the nomination.
Oh, HAMLET, what falling off was there,
That in the seat where Hickory JACKSON sat-
Such mean little man as Polk should squat
His dirty carcass int But, soft, as suits you ;
Methinks got a sauff Of daylight. |
Must G.. d. B., and very shortly. SO
Brief let me be-your uncle Cass it was
Who did your venerable daddy's business.
Sleeping one afternoon, in the Convention,
At Baltimore, he stole upon my sleep,
And in my ear the deep and deadly poison
OF the two-third rule, poured and poured, and
poured,
Till was, sleeping, by brothers. hand,
OF nomination, and Of power bereft-
Cut off, untimely, as frost-nipt-cabbage,
No reckoning made, but sent TO ''kinderhook,
With all the nation hooting at my heels.
HAMLET,
| will avenge thee, dad, I will, by links.
| GHOST.
If you have any blood of mine, as much
AS there is in a turnip, you won't bear 1t;
Come down on Cass like wrath Walk into
him
Like thousand o'brick, and prove yourself
A regular horse. Go make your court at once
To abolitonists and colored people
White faces, are but dough-faces; brt blacl
Is honest color, and befits your purpose.
Go agitate, and spout at various meetings
Speak loving to our colorod citizens
And SO farewell. I'm devilish dry with talk
And hasten hence to take brandy smash
Farewell remember me \! You havn't sue
thing
As shilling about you, have YOU!
i HAMLET.
Blast the one.
Ghost panishes,
III not forget you though Remember yol
Yes, won't l? Maybe won't lam old CA'
Clean out of his boots Remember you, o.
cock
Yes, sir! will. won't do nothing else.
Erit HAMLET, roring vengeance.
