A BOSTON BALLAD.
NOW 11rTIEMAo CAME AND WENT.
BosToN, February 8, 1868
In this famed city where the " Hub"
with now and then a creak and rub,
Still keeps going, ...
tnrn from " entries" and " debentures,"
From :. charter-parties' and " adventures
To overhaul some old indentures
To you Pm owing.
I'm not, own, so Boston-wise.
AS to portray before your eyes
The wonders ALL
That prompt the curious to stare
The grave to talk, the vile to swear,
From Cambridge bridge and Chester square
To Faneuil Hall,
But must tell you of the freak
Our metropoltans, last week,
Went wild upon:
coolly planned, deliberate I" bender :"
cogitated nine days wonder;
preconcerted clap of thunder,
They've been and done.
By letters missiye long ago
ut might be a committee, though.
Went to secure him, y
They sent to borrow Little Mac"
For weeks run along the track
To hospitality and back,
If they'd insure him.
Being lust now without command,
The doughty chief was soon on hand,
And, o my stars
Such roars and shouts as then arose,
Such trampling Ger each others toes,
Such crush of beavers and - old clos"
Beat all the wars.
Men fought to gain single look;
Thieves deftly stole his pocket book
Twixt car and cab /;
(But Shakespear calls it =" trash '-one's purse
Nothing compared with fame-of course,)
While brass bands blow their stove pipes hoarse
To cure the grab.
Then came the dinners and libations,
And sword and pitcher presentations,
And hob-or-nobs.
In grand saloons on Beacon street,
Where the initiate and elite
Alone were privileged to meet
Gold lace and snobs.
Then other tender presentations
TO all the lion institutions
He next was toted:
To Photographic galleries,
Where he and Mrs left their phiz,
To be by every curious quiz
In print-shops quoted.
To schools where damsels gave boquets,
And masters, oratoric bays,
And urchins, kisses;
Till, what with speech and serenade,
And nights by claquers hideous made.
Nothing was left of stock in trade.
Save smothered Kisses.
On Sunday thoughts very plain.
He was at his old tricks again,
With wonted grace
While crowds watched his egress to church,
For lunch he silly LETT his perch,
And his expectants in the lurch-
He'd changed his base"
Now some good folks so simple are,
As ask what all this fuss was for,
And can't see thro' it.
Why, bless their hearts it is not known
That .little Mac has clearly shown,
What has to quite problem grown
"How not to do it,"
For the remainder of the acts,
And sundry other funny facts.
At this time done
About that latin on the sword,
How not single loyal word,
His, or his satellites was heard,
Your anxious readers are referred,
To Warrington.
Yours truly, QUis.
