The Customhouse covI who's not heard Of the
beast'
As smooth as . lawyer and round as priest;
| This "Apple OF rar1s," Of appetite hearty,
| The largess Of Grant and the pet OF the party.
Like Christian she'd stand IN her virtues alsck,
| While midsummer sun would reflect from her
| back,
| In SOBER communings, perhaps with the skies.
| and in ahiskiDg her tail and amusing the dies.
II storms went csreering along through the sky,
| Sublime was her spirit. serene was her eye;
| Yet stern was her vengeance and fierce was he
wrath,
II carpo:.bag Swallowed the glow OF her path.
| Our hearts were as cool and serene as o clam,
As she browsed on the fields Of her dear Uncle Sam;
Giving bliss to our souls and supplies to our platter
How fsrvid our love and profound our regard.
When from pastures she came to bo milk'd in the
yard.
Even Arthur, the infant, would heavs at the chest
As he saw The milk flow, when tue uddsr was press
/" ed.
Like Prince and his children we Lived at our ease
| And received from the creature our butter and
| cheese;
AND tor soit.hsartea Rebels and good Thoma, j.,
| She provided o kiss and drink OF the whey.
| Our petticoats. breeches, our laces and silk,
Our honor ana hopes we're derived from her milk,
And pleasure, position, AID being complete
At once were suspended II dropped from the test.
But diseases Will come though we may not tell how
To man and to woman. why not TO q cowl
But we gave her bolus that Thomas had got
From that prince Of physicians, the great DR.. Scott
But sometimes with cows when diseases assail
Neither bolus nor doctors, nor prayers Will avail,
Nor pilgrimage even to washingt ms tomb
Our loved ones can snatch fom tragical doom.
We stalled her In marble and coured the breeze
That came 70 reviving direct from the seas,
And tried cantstions and petty intriRues.
And menace atd cursings and grooming OF Leagues.
But the cow is "done gone," has vanished from
sight
Like gleam OF the wave 10 the depth of the hight
And "Misereres" only are left for us now.
10 chant in behalf Of the Customhouse Cow.
