Some Office heggaT at my gates,
'Oid clothes" may have been asking,
And caused my wife 10 give away
Ny only means OF masking:

The Copperheads should heot Inc;
But some white patriot fear
Night seize gun and shoe. me.
So here stay--and send these lines,

But John Browns way--the bloody way
Is all that have tested. ,-o jd r
From Cain to Brown it never failed
The stronger hand hath tried it,

For ages have decried.it. -.~
Another mode is "Compromise" f'

Which John Browns spri when it rsps,
Gives curses, ecoffs and hissesl

And pray John Brown that we map have
The victory in October. .a.
