John Bull and the Frenchman, we md,
On these points are both OF one mind
That the cause OF our Union Is rotten
Compared with tobacco and cotton
That this terrible war ought 10 ccaSo
AT once in n treaty OF peace,
aa Which win let our rebeious states 60 N&
To the rule Of Jeh. Davis 20
BIT John keeps an eye on his brother,
Ana either has faith in the oher
Both would like o''piich in" II they burst,
But each AFRAID to be first.
..n So John plays the neutral, while Nap. Mf "a
A sweet and humane sort OF chap,
With his olive branch-innocent 0iDe-
Pleads peace TO King Jen. and Old ADO.
i8 But the neutral professions Of John so& sf
Ae shabby preieaces, put on.
Which hide not, bat rather DISCLOSE,
The tail OF Old Nick and his tocs
His peutraty's war in disguise, $3.50
His philanthropy all mon despise.
When cotton is at a high figure
He ceases TO weep for the Niger
John Bull has two strings 70 his bow sfe
Uncle Fam aud jon. Davis Il Co. ~ ... +
He enjoys our legitimate trade,
And serves, through old Gidoou's blockade &c
His rebel confederates right we'll a3fgHy
For the cotton which they have 70 sell, r
But serves them still better-the cheat
In his rebel piratical fleet. mff sHtf
neutral, OF course he remains
As he rolls in his IN gotten gains,
Az hts means and his wits are employed
To have this republic destroyed;
TO sever our country In twain,
That he may bs lord Of the main; ag
And he dreams whsn this Union goes down, y
Of rcign without end 70 the Crown.
A tho Eight OF the Kikenny'cats
Was, doubtless, enjoyed By the rats, s
This war Is enjoyed by John Bull;
And 30 long as his pockets are full.
And the rebels are serving his ends,
Tho rebels he'll treat Is his friends; -
But II 10 their ruin they plunge
He will squeeze them a. dry - sponge.
Such is Bull as neutral. But how sf
Stands the sharp little Frenchman Just n0we t,
IL appears that he stands very well
With that yagabond traitor, Slidell, ~ efr
And would strike for King Jen. any day
II Bull would lead or In the fray,
And would eivsevon 70 slavery the track
For ten years Of Southern tGbac. .aNth
Meantime into poor Mexico
The Frenchman has slpp'd, a. you know. abs
And set up, perhaps with the hope
or humbuggng Kaiser and Pope
A Dutchman in purple TO rule F.A
As the Vicer0y Of France, and tool
Who will not, when wanted, be deaf
To the cause or the claims OF King JeG
And Texas, perhaps, Ia the slice
BY jeff to be paid, as the price
For his Kingdoms defence and release
In and treaty or peace.
Uacle sam will thus pay for the dance, s,.aiI
To the glory OF Davis and France,
Till the Frenchman can wind up the ball
King Davis, King Cotton and all 4s 8
But hero comes the test 10 John Bull,
And this project may stick In his WOOL tst
When rogues disagree, II Is known,
Honest men may recover their own
SO England and France, Ia the tolls
OF squabble concerning the spoils,
Will surely be banked OF their prey,
And Jussce will carry tbs day.
