"ua;l HOLY GRAY Beard! hear our CRY,
Nor let thy loyal subjects die 49,,
We reared a gallows, strong and high'
To hang "thc Cloths" on;
INT ,ire-the rope-,hs noose-the tic
May alp. wrong necks on:
"Let this CUP pass.-Dear Lord Of all!
We know thy power, Ie'er since The f6il,)
To damn-pray save-nor let us squali,
From pipe and outlet
Let Humans dooul-his GaspinS dra"l-
Go by our palate!
1--WE pant to know-the sky looks dark
The smoking ilax'-the smother spark
OF Democratic wrath, breaks forth,
In streams Of FIRE.
Save! save. we pray-our sinking bark:
Internal Sire"
"stand forth We dismal, motley, crew.
And hear Us give each Ounce his due
Our high designe, at first, were with you,
Plain truth 10 tell;
But, chatt'rin apes, lost sight Our Cue
The trick-the spell!
1--WE pointed you to Lantern Dark
But told you not 10 ape the lark
That II you did, your unsouth osFh
Might tempt the Eagle, so.
To leaye awhile. his cloud-oopp'd ark'
To fang beagle
awe could no, always be on watch
Yet gave you oft, Of hints batch. ..,
And. sometimes failed your eyes 70 cal'n'
The cause to save;
But after all, You dared 10 scratch
In CAROLS grave
1.-THE silly lie, you told on George"
bam mar'd Mt sOur Forge
You ought Z havo known, such bloodless fudge
Was trash to die on;
Nistak'n by Buutline Jacks as forge,
For them to feed on
1--WE charged You not to grin and growl,
As suarlinS mastifs-tail IN curl! -,
Nor glut on garbage-tfool fool tooi.)
In open day; :,
Nor tear from Fayette's golden co"i
One gem away!
1--WE warn'd you, next, to let alone
The Irish name-Montgomery' crown
Which, midst the Revolution, shone
A star of fire.
70 streak with light the exile's DOOM
T. unchain his Tyre!
"DeKalb. safe lodged in Glory's urn,
Looks down with blissfu unconeern
On mousing owls-each IN his turn
Hooting away
Alderman pearls, that shine and burn
In endless day
"Now, if you had much brain as beard,
You would have held your tougues-unheard,
And play'd tho snake, of Edens yard,
Triumphautly:
But gossip earns its own reward;
So, snub away!
"And moro! you had before your eyes
Example given, in Paradise,
BY one who neither laughs nor cries
For Ounce or king
Much less, wnen Sam, the upstart, dies,
The Know thing"
do, pray, great grand pa, God of Gulio!
Bestow on us one gracious smile:
If we bit truth, the live long while,
We and TO miss il,
And told the lie in first rate style,
In hopes ye'd back It,
"Avaunt, short-sighted gulls, away
Nor damn our presence with your stay;
We told you how "the scheme" to lay
In silent guile;
But, lackass-like, you chose to bray
Out all the while!
go, down ye 20 to Hades-Hel-
Chanting tho dying dirge, pell-mell;
Nor leave behind one goose to tell,
In tristful tones,
How quick YOU rose-how soon you fell
How mute your gr'ans!
.But should you ever kick again,
We charge you now TO shift the scene;
Dull, fumblins tricksters bring to shame
Themselves aud cronies.
Choose subtler ones our aid to claim;
But, down with ponkies!"
