The msases, part Of human kind
Are those who sneslingly biis behiai
And place the drunken tool bsilrs
To libel honest people Ger.
III from their secret places drag
And with the truth them choke and gsE:
Pimp. Post, or Squire, aud DeasonS ell.
Shall taste the wormWOOi snd the gall;
And il dirty, filthy sheet.
They in secret persist to keep;
And use dirty, sI!hy fellow,
Whose hearts corrupt, whose brain is shallow
To libel those who stand above
As high as scars the bird ofJove
Ger those by habit ntsn aud low
AS the eagle is above the crow
Add lhsn for wrongs that they have made
On business, character and trade;
A puIblind dogtO their disgrace,
Hold up to spit in peoples face.
lis not the purpose Of ny song,
With sculiOns low to mix among
The ProVerb ran 10 words ike these:
"IiyOu lie with dogs-you'll rise with hsss!'
And my Muse will tarry here
And Of you, reader, ask an ear
While i! describes the fl.by bra:,
Who grinds the Citizen Dsao:rK
For thus the story seemed to run,
Twas some like romance, some Ike Iua:
That in the lonely hours Of night,
This paeudo Sinbad took alright
He thought Of lies by him made rife.
That wounded honor sought bis life;
And meeting him in BIS saloon,
Did with pistol shoot hlm down.
In lamentations loud he cried,
Which brought the people TO his sile,
And in the midst OF noise and din,
One Doctor A--w was called in.
Now as a skilliul surgeon would,
He sought the wound, he sought the blood, -
he rolled the patient o'e and Ger,
But no blood on bis clothes or floor;
But dearest reader, strange to tell,
In lieu of blood, oh such 3 smslp
Now if We Judge BY Natures laws,
For all this fuss-must be some cause.
The doctor understood the case,
And quick his footsteps did retraco.
A water doctor he said would do,-
Or shsrrod, perhaps could help him through
The people all in wonder stood,
And vet not one could see the blood
But soon the secret came to light,
The odOr proved the doctor right
The people now had al Withdrawn,
And left the Muse and man alone.
The scenes that passed between these two
Would beggar words and figures too;
But Muse pass DER the tidy dress
II covers things you can't exPless;--
For nasal organs testify
And proves, dear Muse that you don't lie.
But wandering bird, you We lost your way
In fiction & fields you've gone astray.
IN plume your wings and call you back
And place you on the proper track
Behind that clatty trough Of slack,
Charged with slime OF snail and snake.
These filthy slush tubs have their place.
Their dirt to throw in peoples face.
Your mission nov dear wandering One
To teSch these rascas that there's some
Who understand their scores way,
will them expose in open day
The deacon may on bended knees,
Before Him who ell things s,e'
In solemn tones, with face 50 grave.
Pray God to have mercy on the slave;
And vet bsfJte his words can COOL
Hes acting as if HISS tool
By aiding in that cursed plOt
? To force slavery on lands remote,
? And Joins with those whose destiny
? They say, is to enslSve the free.
