EN- an insertion
Come gentle muse and touch strain.
Twill echo back and sound again
On scenes that passed we now must dwell.
When Old John Brown arrived in hell.
When Pluto heard John Brown was hung
Old Tophet with hosannas rung
For we'll they knew the lying thief,
Would make for them an honored chief.
Brown to receive they did prepare.
All eager in the JOY to share
Old Satan from his throne came dawn,
And left his seat for brother Brown.
Not long indeed, for him they wait,
For soon he thundered at the gait -
"Come in % said Pluto, quickly come;
Your welcome to your fiery home"
Three cheers rolled forth in accents brief.
To hail the Abolition chief;
Old John chinl'd in, and thanked the fates
He'd safely passed the pearly gates,
While Arnold held him by the hand.
Old Satan took the Speakers stand
L., l1efl lnyu
And hear me welcome brother Brown -
you're welcome John to your reward,
You've ch Gated Biddle and the Lord
Though pearly gates wide open flew,
They did MT catch my servant true.
Gas oft you We murdered, lied and stole,
1t did rejoice my burning soul;
You've run your length in earth's career,
And We are pleased 10 SEQ you here.
you'll take your seat at my left hand,
Why do this you'll understand.
Be not surprised when tell you
Old Abraham is coming too.
"There on my right that vacant chair,
Long since for him did prepare
And soon ! know that he will come
His earthly race is almost run.
'sJohn 1t my left, Abe at my right,
Wen give the heavenly hosts sight
A,triune gr, up we then shall be,
Yes three in one and one in three
'Abe's Cabinet, it's very true,
Will soon knock here as loud as you
In short, the negroizing clan,
Are travelling here into man.
"I shall protest most long and loud
'Gainst taking in the motely crowd;
For we'll know. they'd me dethrone,
Aud swear that Tophet was their own.
'sLet Sumner, Stephens AMI their host,
When they on earta give up the ghost;
'Unto lower he'll appear.
We have no room for them up here.
",Tho clergy too, much do fear,
Attractions law will draw them here
Thei earthly teachings, though TELL
Are doctrines long since preached in He'll.
"They too must find a lower home,
For hither sure they shall not come
We're crowded now in every spot,
Save here and there vacant lot.
"These I've reserved through all the fights.
For those who have pre-emption rights;
That corner lots for Back bone Tod,
A renegade accused Of God.
"The Traitor here from his own place,
Can view the scenes of Fortress Chase
Laugh at the wees of his old friends,
Till his cursed life in horror ends.
There's other traitors I could tell
They are too mean to come to hell
So let each go and hunt his hole.
For greenbacks here won't pay the toll.
"And now, 0. John. on earth oppressed,
You are with us a welcome guest
On earth you played your part full well,
So now with US forever dwell
