"Poor Toms a'cOld."
How warm soccer the genial sun
Mag look in Kindness on the earth,
In Tom Jones' veins no cheering warmth
Dispells the gloomy sorrow Of his soul.
Dyspepsia, like goblin, hunts him down,
Ague, grim chamberlain, lights him to bed
While Dullnoss, Vertigo, and headache dire
With fcrcer aches combine to make him
groan.

O very handsome one, and it is pity that
such timber should be used for such pur-
pose We wonder whether they are going

All hail the Haunting lie
The stars grow pale and dim;
The stripes are bloody scars
A lie, the vaunting hymn,
1t shields pirates deck, 7
1t binds man in chains,
1t yokes the captives neck,
And wipes the bloody stains.
Tear down the haunting lie!
Half mast the starry flag
Insult no sunny sky,
With hates pol!utcdrag
Destroy it yc who can
Deep sink it in the waves
1t bears fellow man, ,
To grOan with fellow slaves.
Furl, furl the boosted lie i
Till Freedom lives again, c
To rule once more in truth, h
Among untrammelled men d
Roll up the starry sheen, h
Conceal the bloody stains G
For in it, folds are seen O.
