no effort 10 resist--we wouldn't if we could've feel
his loss more than most people, for he was such a
nice sweet, beautiful man-possessed of such win
ming ways and charming charactsristics-and he
was snuffed out of existence so eaSy-he was a hu-
man hrst-class rocket and everybody used TO ad-
mre him so--they didn't think there vas any touch

which doth hedge about" etc. But day
naughty boy J. Wilkes Booth by name, came along
and Re admired the rocket and he said "0h what

the amusing rocket was a nasty, blsckened, broken
stick and empty case Of ne account 70 any body

Then, with loosened rein, and tncurbed bit
See stride, as IN the battles ran,

He'll mount again, and his banner high
Advanced shall shine a mstsor, and be

With nation following At bis back :

And woe to him who seeks 70 sal

And there's koof-mark broad on the faishIess man
