Almighty Gomez: wheresoe'er yeu travel.
With cslrse crratic, through esherea. sYAcc,
Hold = minute, and the case unrste,
w 10 are absent on rome Wild chase,
HavlAk l16smentsr hare In pante kme,
Obi ~ Why you I'D NOS ''coaas V $ime.'
Have sroeA Aabit-- surely III bad ons--.s
Of6m6kinc your appointanenls 90 lad ain
Nov 0tls oesend that ron have reyef had oncs
To "rna ! uiackn egAinss our earthly ball;
You did engaRe 70 pitci into this pl&eet.
.saa asicr footing, mind now. We Shaft fAn'it.
Fsnf time is up, and still the great ccsllais
1htbills ahnouaced, has not yea place;
Pray, tell VS., then, (and andcr What dSsssion),
Ii you're entitled, on your bills, 70 grace?
II you're lawyer ~ agg'riHg ahrough the skies,
Your very tail may prove string OF lies
Now, cant You ''come il" in the month OF Juiys
For iiis.too late for you 10 come In June,
And under such suspects at present you lie,
Your SHUTTING match cannot come of too
soon;
And for excuse, WHY say You had TO run,
A little foot-race iothes side the sun.
But come YOU must, we cant be disappointed;
Make up your mind to knock US into pi.
Give US a switch as you 60 sailing by
And rid the earth of some that can be spared;
'Twon't hurt US all to be a little scared!
If your old fy.brush was made up of haltera,
And every halter fitted with moose,
You'd have too few to throttle our defaultefs;
And rs you cannot stop TO pick and choose,
II you'll Just trail your Iassos down this way,
I'll mention some who'll be your lawful prey.
But Mister Comet, since you are so nigh Us,
Relate some marvels OF your heightened ace;
Drop few hints as you are glancins by us
To 20 zis-zagging through eternal space.
You've travelled some in foreign parts, Tn told,
And doubtless can ''wondrous tale unfold.
Pray. tell us, now, about the rings Of Saturn,
And why the Top INDUCES in such gear.
Or are they hoops, like those which every Stat
Compounds Of brass, to spread her muslin
here.
OF course, they are not hoops, or else between
us)
They'd hang, just now, upon the hips Of penus
You've passed the lNoon, and doubtless are &C
qMinted
With that young man, the wanton, lama
keeps
Pray, is his phiz as ugly as it's painted
When forth, on moonlight nights at us he
peeps:
Yon know him WELT so tell us, il you please,
IL the young man very fond OF cheesef
It's not unlikely that so old stager
Has often taken Orion by the hand,
Or had friendly hug with Ursd Aajor:
Now, did the Bear give you to understand,
Ne ~ III.
That he's a Baptist OF the hard shell lire.
You know the Wagoner, and OFT have passed
him,
Urging higs nags along the Milky Hay.
Il be !. dark man. have you ever asked him,
As you shot by him on some rainy day
Excuse the query-has he ever stated
That he and onr Tan were al all related:
You have passed our earth by in nj! styles anc
seasons,
And know is thoroughly from pole to pole:
Now, answer truly, for have my reasons.
Did you, at either end, observe a hole,
| Dark, and mysterious. with any clue
| To whether i, might, might rot, reach ,hro.
T would prove God send if you've ever foune
il,
And marked the spot upon some tree hard by
T was lost ny Mister Symmes, and round anc
round 1t
He's been sailing centuries constantly;
Assisted, TOO. by Saxon and by Gaul,
But hitherto the holes escaped them all
Pri,hee, great Comet, DO not be offended,
As TO this hole have one question more;
| I've qutsttt ned now beyond what Intended,
| BuG Ina concerned atout this polar bore.
| Our Mormon iIirnts must soon see!. cooler quar-
tiers;
