r.~.r Bccr...A Parody.

The fakes of snow were falling fast,
Aud bleakly blew the wintry blast,
AS uhrough a crowded street there passed
A youth who reeled and plunged along
And this the burden of his song
oh Lager Beer"
His brow was pale-his hat caved in,
A few stray hairs upon his chin,
And like maniac just let out,
He reckless poured his furious shout
"Oh Lager BeerI'
In many a store he saw the light
Of gas that flashed like meteors bright,
But he. alas unhappy wight.
Was only blinded by the sight.
He felt he scarce could walk alone,
And from his lips escaped groan-
"Oh Lager Beer
"Try not the walk "-the old man said,
And gravely shook his hoary head,
+" Dark lowers the tempest overhead,
The street is coursed by many sled,
The cutters roll an angry tide !"
That caution he did but deride,
And loudly answered with slide
Oh, Lager Beer!"
"Oh stay "a lady said" indeed,
A helper now you seem to need,
I'll be that helper Did he heed!
The hair stood out upon his chin,
But still he answered with grin,
As on he rushed amid the din
"Oh Lager Beer !"
"Beware the Marshal's brave police ~
Beware the Magistrates caprice!"
Twas useless thus that youth to greet,
A voice replied far up the street
'.Oh, Lager Beer :"
The morrow came-at nine o'clock,
A youth was in the Mayors dock.
Now calm as waves e'er tempest shock,
His cheeks all pale, uncombed his hair;
The Mayor asked" How came you here!
He muttered with vacant stare
Oh, Lager Beer ~
An officer upon his round
Half buried in the snow, had found
That youth, Frustrated on the ground;
Unable on his feet to stand,
An empty bottle in his hand,
Upon it that mysterious brand
Of Lager Beer !"
There in the midnight cold and deep,
Senseless and drunk, he lay asleep;
But still his bottle did he keep,
All pale and wasted was his face,
With rum and ruin and disgrace.
But DER all was stamped the trace
Of Lager Beer."
