A Rushing Melody.

IHL YEAST VI fJkAki AND lhk fboW VI kAiA-
8, far as can reason down
To complex - Eastern question -
A Turkey, done exceeding brown,
Would suit the Cars digestion.
De trussed it must with bayonets hrst,
And pepPered we'll with powder;
Then, sliced out into provinces,
Twill make famous chowder.
Poor Turkey can not bear 'syoke,"
Though Turkey eggs bear puiieb;
Nor can the Sultan see the joke
OF making nus Eggs bullets
Though he has got hundred wives,
lie daily loves g Moli Dxvia;''
And Calais is the kind Of gal"
lie would mt part 10 save you.
Though "men shake OF :" the Russian wiles,
Still, Men-shikon is great, Sir!
And Dnrtan-"eels" crooked miller,
Although thy call them I" strait" sir.
The Sultan in his Hzrem sits,
While things go 'harun" scarum.
lie get. in-Sultin' messages,
And can not choose, but '' bcar" 'em.
Tn. Turk appeals to God and truth,
But suffers neerthelcss he;
For GcnrscHAKoFr, besides the Pruth,
At JaSsy gives him Jersey
With Gortscha-" koti," and " Ncnschi." j" koH,"
Ills breast has got stuffin',
And if he not shake them Of
These 'conghs' will nail his cofha.
The Car is clad in costly furs,
From Vashka and Yakaka;
While Turkeys sole defence from "kcG"
Is s"KEDscnID ALI PAcHA"
The Sultan to the Prophet prays-
No profit comes u near HIM;
And though his Porte is called Sublime"
1t has not strength to cheer him.
lie prays to Mecca, but he finds
The " mecLa N Sun is rusty;
Ills PRAYER eau not unlock the gate,
And SO the Porte" is crasty;"
Ills vizicrs put their .'yisors" down,
And will not face the tussle;
Alas, the faithful Mussulmans
Have neither train nor muscle"
Dis-"turSin" hands his turban touch
His hookah il is ..hooked," Sir:
And soon, before u Cossaek Z" fire."
Will Turkeys goose be cooked, Sir!
Ills Mam-luAes 10 ''uammy look
Nor are for battle pressing;
Ills "Pashas Of dozen tails"
Have ..taIes' the most distressing.
Ills Dragoman can't drag man"
To fight, (the Turks amt stupid,)
His "iiirafe Gnnrf' are impotent,
For Mars eke for cupid.
There's not man in his Divsn,
In honor's wan will die, sir;
Before the storm that :. Bruin'Ibrews,
The turkey" soon must '-fy," Sir.
Though England promised men and mon
Ey, now she goes for 3" snacks,r Sir,
Pr-f-rring Turkey underdone,
To fighting with Cbssacks, Sir
'Oid Nick' may send his ..serf," to fybt
Prom kostroma and kusardz,
While Louis in the "Iirc aux Csrfs,"
Is shooting ''turkey" buIzsrds.
The Cossacks are a savage horde,
But Turks with them can cope i'll,
St Petersburg obeys the sword,
Not SO Constantinople,
The Turks called TO daily prayer
From mineret and steeplc,
So well informed they are, they're called
The constant II know people.
The Sea of Marmora is small,
sca-tOn in the meek" Sir.
Which joins the European heads
Unto the Asian wreck, Sir,
The Turk. I fear. must cross il soon,
To ''mar more" utter ruin,
And this is all know about
The tempest that is Bruin."
The Turks gave shelter to KossUrH-
For this esteemed their souls are;
May they neer know Hungary day
''Partitioncd" as the Poles arc.
May Allah and the Christians God
Confound unchristian Czars, Sir
And may the Crescent moon be girt
With bright CoI..nsb bissa stars, SIR
