Who avowed me their supports
They have gone to other regions,
And their numbers getting short.
Though the friends that gathered round me
Bade my trembling spirit hope.
They have left me in the darkness,
Blind, and weak, and faint to grope.

Prompt to aid my rising will,

Be the great aspirer still.

As the means of his defeat;
He will have no cause for sorrow
When he hears how bad I'm beat.
Like noble. modern Caesar,
Once put the thing aside,
Yet got the nomination,
But 'tW ere better had died.
Should the base. plebian rabble
Dare to cast its faithless eye,
Where Frank Blair, my beaten consort,
Weeps above his pint of rye,
Seek him: say the loyal people
Had no use for him or me,
Though it's true, we both have thought SO,
We must bow to the decree.
"And for thee, Oh, noble Andy
In whose shoes hoped to stand,
Reach to me from out the White House
One last, dear consolIng hand.

That my hepe is in the dust:
