Mr.. Clerk.

Another six days work is done,
Another setting has begun;
Ipray you give us, Mr.. Clerk,
The programme for the next weeks work
All columned up so true and nice,
For we are lockers on in Venice"
There's Greeley, with his sage (sedge) grassc'
head,
Rives, with his strong, elephant tread,
Webb, who looks like a fattened spider,
And Bailey, the shadow Of a nigger,
Bennett with his foxy eyes,
Whose glances seem so many spies;
And yet this concentrated wisdom
Leaves our gucsses still at random.
Yet as silent sat and gazed,
Methought that seat was gently raised.
! feared, like Balaam'sa ass of old,
'Twculd bray against you, with a scold.
A misty light hung round the chair,
A spirit bright sped thro' the Dir,
But as it left this Clay-e state
To old Keatuck, he left its fate.
And as you know, I'm truth-secker,"
Do tell me who you think'll be Speaker?
They've tried the strength Of many States,
Yet undecided hang their fates;
And who am mother bold,
just tell sou what the spirit told.
Now try the spirits for "good luck"
Bring out son Of old Kcntuck.
He'll Marshall we'll the files that hold
The check Of power So untold.
The mantle that was drop'd by Clay
Envelopes him this very day
AS men have failed, in "spra and letter."
DO let a aooman try and do better.
pray, believe me what say,
Nor keep it empty another day,
And for those facts, as I'm n truth keeper"
I'll vouch when you have made Speaker!
