The Federal Constitution WAS the result at

The following poetical correspondence ex
plains itself and tells those who did not know
before how to speak the name Of the Vernon
poet a f..al
To JouS G. SAKE.
AS poets are supposed TO be
A sort Of public property,
Whom no amount of impudence
Can ever give the least ofTense,
When the dear people at their ease
May cuss, or discuss, as they please,
And who when damned from every quarter,
Must grin and bear it like a martyr;
/ say as they're supposed to be
To every snob and rustic free
To insult, consult, or abuse,
Applaud, condemn, as they may choose
I've taken liberty to write II
And beg you for ray Of light
Upon the subject of your name
For you must know though Mistress Fame
Takes pains TO everywhere announce it,
The jade don't know how to pronounce it
Which causes wranges loud and long
About the favorite son Of song;
'rill over SAKE, Sakes, and Sax
Quite wroth the fierce disputants wax.
An awful clamor there has been
I've fought for SAKE through thick and thin
And argued many a weary bout,
Until my temper quite gave out
And resolved upon the spot
To know if it we're SAKE or not,
And hold my judgment in allegiance,
Until the post should make conveyance,
And from yonr own self had heard,
How to pronounce the doubtful word.
So if you're pleased to let me know,
! shall in future have to show
An argument of knock down force,
And not be talking till I'm hoarse
If not, III let them wrange on
And henceiorth call you simply John.
The ANSWER.
The man who speaks of SAKE as Sake,
OF course would call an axe an axe;
Pray tell your friend, good Mistress Fame,
I've no acquaintance with the dame,)
If she should wish to use my name,
To make the word a rhyme to axe,
knacks whacks, or cracks, or even smacks,
And call me plainly John G. SAKE
