ALEoArTER ~
aThere Is an Hand on a river lying,
Which runs into Gsutimsly warm country
Lying near the TroPicks covered with sand;
Hear and there a symptum of Willow,
Hanging of its umbragious Inns and branches
Over the clear streme meandering far below
This was the Home Of the now silent Aegaher
When not in his other element conhne d;
Hear he wood set upon his egs sleep
with l ey observant Of his and other passing

But a las in an evil our he was foureed 10
Wake that dreme Of Bills was two sweet for MN

Which also did Alegaier, coming from the WATER

To the fountain-head which tina orignly sprung
But having had nothing to eat for some time h'

Unloading soon welth Of perl white te.n,
The rails Of the son soon shet his sinister ey
Because Of their mutooal splender and warmth

Evidently good chsns for a water-snaik
or the large Specie, which soon appeared
Into the horisop, the bank where repose

About 90 foot was his Length mot the 'gaiter)
And he was aperiently a wel-proportioned Snaik,
When he was all ashore he glared upon
The Hand with APPROVAL, but was
sAstouished with the view and lost to wonder (froM

Times with foads voloominus and vast (from Milton
And had tore of several scais in the confusion,
Besides squesing him awfully onto his stomic.
just then, by fortunate turn in his aairs
He eeazed into his mouth the careles tale 49,
OF the uurefectng waterSnak! Groan desperate
He, finding that his tale was fast squesed
Terrible while they roaled all over the Hand
1t was a we'll sonducktsd Affair no noise
Disturbed the harmony OF the Seen, ecsept
Onct when Willow SNAPPED into by the roaliug
Each of the combatence had MT mint tor holernC
So the confick was materially TREMENDOUS
But soon by crate fource the tale was bit complete
Ly of but the eggzertion too much
For his delicate Constitution he felt compression
Onto his chest and generally over his body
When he ecspres'd his brethng. it with CRATE
Difficulty that ho felt nspir'd onct more.
OF coarse this State must suffer u revolootion
So the Aegaiter gave but vel and egspire'd
