A LAWYERS ODE TO SPRING.

~ hereas on certain bonghs and sprays,
Now divers birds are heard to sing,
And certain flowers their heads upralse;@
Hail to the coming on of Spring! 80
The songs Of those said birds arouse
The memory of our youthful hours
As green as those said sprays and boughs, .
AS fresh and sweet as those said flowers
The birds aforesaid--happy pairs
Love mid the aforesaid boughs enshrinea
Z In freehold nest, themselves, their heirs,
Administrators and assigns.
@, bus est term Of Cupid court,
i, w here tender plaintiffs action bring
Seasons of frolic and ofsport-
So Hail. as aforesaid, coming spring!
