PACEM, PEAGRIM, PEECAMUR.
Oh dear. yGu in0ppoItune Peagrim,
1t is enough to give any meagrim,
10 think OF the row you may get US III now,
BY your conduct, inopportune Peagrim
The ship Harvey Birch on the sea grim
You might board and might burn, Captain Peagrim,
And we only should say, il a casual way.
Twas uLluCEY she net Captain Peagrin
But when in Southampton you free, grim,
The prisoners you've caught aptain PeegTim,
We placed in a fix, to pronounce if your tricks
Are heros, or pirates, Oh Peagrim
If a pirate we hold Captain Peagrim,
Tie Confederate States they will be grim;
And again if we don't, the United States won't
Be disposed to take our view Of PeagTim
Thus placed betwixt two fires by Peagrm,
Mr. Punch is afflicted with meagrim;
He would fain be impartial IN any Court. Martial
That's held On the status Of Peagrim.
A lieutenants comm ssion holds Peagrim,
But that won't on the wall suck the flea grim;
Though lieutenant lie be- that warrant at sea.
Giving powers 81 captoreto Peagrim.
Yet as pirate We can't give up Peagrim,
At the va darn straight run up be- grim,
Which Adams, fear, will declare ts quite clear,
Is the right sort OF treatment for PeagTim.
Yet to make cdsus beL CT Pes grim.
Loose the war-d0gs, by land and by sea, grim,
For a man with that name II the annals OF fame
To nscribe, not Britannia, but Peagrim!
Then let's all pray for peace spite of Peagrim;
Il y Wdr-fears PASS Il ike a meagrim
And by hO, k or by crook may We live to renuke
Those who feel apprehensions from Peagrin.
