In &c little town Of Warren,
On the river called Mahonins,
Where the lawyers have their dwelling,
Live, and move, and have their beings
Near the mills they call Van Borders,
Where the Justice has his dwelling.
There, when night comes over Warren,
Gloomy night, Ger muddy Warren,
Thither all the lawyers HE them.
(By . cordial invitaiion)
Hie them to the Justices dwelling,
Where they meet a hearty greeting.
Meet = kind and hearty greeting
Old and young. they come together.
And they make a goodly number,
lawyers heing some in Warren0
Editors and Judges present,
Make = gay and goodly number,
Not forgetting to bring with them
Better halves--an they who have them,
And the luckless nights that har'Hf,
For their sins are duly punished,
As my story will inform you,
Being patient, will inform you.
Lively groups then chat together,
Chat OF men and books togetners
Sense and nonsense, all together.
Then the table. part surrounding,
Make an onslaught full Of feeling,
Onslaught, wonderous full of feeling
Oysters vanish quick before them
Crackers, coffee, cake and ~cabbag,,
Every dainty well provided.
Presto 2 vanishes before them,
While from % the door behind them,
Black eyes peep in envy at them,
Being vonderourly inpatient,
Quite ssggestirsiy impatient.
But the eaters, nothing daunted
BY the questions, no whit %daunted,
slacken not a whit Their vigor
Till their hunger having left them,
To the parlor they betake them,
And the others glad to see them,
Quickly strive to initiate them
In the onslaught on the oysters,
On the coffee. cake and cabbage
Then because Of Hymen slighted.
(Hoi ye bachelors take warningl
One poor luckless youth is knighted,
Knighted by mysterious passes,
Conjuring charms, and Eitch'ry mystic;
Round and round he flies Departing,
Round, in vain for help imploring-
Human help cannot avail him.
Knows he then initiation
Knighthood's first initiation
Editor proposes science;
Boasts Of knowledge new, and strange,
Power TO tell the mind and talents
By the bumps caIl'd phrenologic.'
Proves himself a great imposter;
Merits prompt and full exposure,
KnigAt stands by in great citation.
Calls it only 'rstribEti0a-'
Ladies quite devoid Of feeling,
Ladies fair, but yet deceiying,
Handy all the gents inviting
To the seat BY which they're sittingi
Men. poor mortals. unsuspecting.
Nevef thinking Of refusing,
Never once Of danger dreaming
Then politely to them speaking,
All the while serenely smiling.
Bowling calamity, and smiling
Nov the pronered seat accepting,
When behold the laaies rising,
Luckless gents behind them leaving,
Wondering gents belop them leaving
Ladies from the seat retiring,
Mid the laughing and the roaring,
Hearty shouting, screaming, roaring.
Lawyer tall, with speed descending;
Hkisksred lawyer quick succeeding;
Knigktsd lawyer. grown susPecting,
All his Knightly honors falling
And the door then open bursting,
All in gay confusion ningling,
Follows such = laughing, roaring,
euch a gay and hearty roaringi
Since ths moOnless night is waning,
Follows then the goodnight greeting,
''Hone. sweet homo" together singing,
Pull each heart Of friendly feeling.
Friendly hands in friendship speaking.
Kind and cordial the leave taking,
HES each one unto his dwelling,
In the little town OF Warren,
BY the river called MahOning-
