On the shores of the Pacific. ...
II we lay the scene in Washoe.
We ean tell Medea's story
To the better comprehension
OF the masses of the people.
In the silver.land Of Washoo ....-
Lived hunky boy, named Jason
A mighty hero was this Jason,
And bis doughty deeds Of valcr
Rang from Tahoe to Reese River
Prom Oregon to Arizona
He had been with Captain Wallace
On the Walker expedition. ..
He Il was who planned the movement
Which surrounded the "campoody:"
He IL was, who In the pine.woods,
Watching, waiting. lay till morning.
Laying plans, dark and strategic,
With the Indian Chief :. JosephuS"
He was with the Nine-and. Twenty
Under Wells, out on the Truckee;
They who slew the vetern legions-
Slew the nine and twenty Piutes-
Slew the squawS Of Winnemucca;
waded to the very arm-pitS,
Through seas Of CUTS and gore and garbage
All alone had mighty Jason.
Slain with single.bsrreled shotgun
The Fossil Elephant Of Truckee.
First he slew him, then he ate him
Stripped bis bones and left him lying.
A skeleton all bare and chastity.
Took he then, the mighty entrails,
Made hundred miles Of sausage
Stuffed with Piutes and pspooses
Ate the sausage rs be journeyed homewards
Such a mighty man was Jason!
Was it strange that all the women
In the Iilver-land Of wsshoe
Cast their brightest, sweetest glanecs
On the doughty warrior Jasonf
Was 1t strange that fair Creusa,
Child Of old Creon the Wealthy,
Lord of all the Ledge of Comstock, ..-
Should succumb to the advances
OF the mighty warrior Jssoni
On one fair and lovely evening,
When the gentle WaShoe zephyr
" 49, sNS'N-fARSsI
Signs, and boards, and dust and dornickS,
Through the streets and through the alleys,
Creusa made her preparations
For her wedding on the morrow.
Jason proudly stalked through Z street,
To buy a ring and hire a preacher;
Net, in front of Doyle & Goodman's,
Orpheus, his friend and pitcher.
And the tale that orpheus told him
Made bold Jason rather weaken:
Orpheus told him that Medes
His other rife from Philadelphia
Had come out across the IsthmuS,
On the Nicaragua steamer!
Had come out, and brought the children,
For to see their daddy Jason,
Hero of the land of Washoe.
jason was man Of action
Hesitated not nor pondered;
HE'D him straight for able counsel"
And before the blissful morning,
Was divorced from poor Medea-
Free to marry fair Crcusa
And by Judge Burhank's decision
Both the children, TOO, were given
To Jason and not to Medea.- ....
Medea then took the mysteries,
Shrieked and yelled, and kicked and shouted
Sat down in the empty courtroom,
Got her wind, and planned her vengeance.
Then she took half q dollar,
HE'D straightway to drugstore,
Bought half an ounce Of essence
Ofthe deadly Serew-ten-oe-ten.
Went then straightway TO the chamber
ofthe lovely bride CreuBa. ~ ......
On the bridal veil she poured II,
Poured the deadly sereu-tea-oo-teu; ...
Went then to tho honss Of Jason.
Went and asked TO- wee the children.
Just to see them and to kiss them.
Jason and tho fair Creusa
Scarce were bound In holy wsdioek
BY the Reverend Mr.. Rising, .-. ~.
When piercing Shrek resoundsd .
Through the Church, and fair Crsuss
Suecumbed to the w-ten.oo-ten.
HOrror.strnck, the wretehed Jason
Homeward rushed, and found his children
Stretched upon the parlor.carpst,
Dead from CHASTITY wounds inflicted
BY the dagger Of Medea sa... .., -a
And the mother standing DER them.
Howled curse 80 fierce and dreadful
That the Wretehed Jason shuddered; -
Then she raised the bloody dagger
In her broken heart she thrust II.
And fell and died upon the bloody
Bodies OIL her slaughtered children. -
That's the story ofMedea.
Adapted to tho times and climate
OF the Silver Land Of wHshoe
