Intemper1nce will surely bring
The serpent's bite. the adder's sting;
Twill make your morals much the worse,
And leave you with an empty purse
And whisky by excessive use.
W III make the wisest man a goose
Or gandcr, which from gender came
The creature still remains the same.
Twill make you take the pigs warm bed
And occupy it in his stead;
BY morning light you'll leave the sty
With dirty lace and bloOdShot eye,
= And look so very stability,
The children laugh to see your feet
Go zigzag through the village street.
If you OF liquor, Cont beware,
Through prison CRATES perhaps you'll stare;
Twill cause you for the want of wit,
To murder in a drunken it,
And bring disgrace upon your name
While many have to feel the shame.
Itbrings the besgar to your door,
Sick1y and ragged, mean and poor.
Whose wife, through anguish. now is dead
Whose starving children cry for bread.
The liquor seller, who has made
Is guilty Of his brothers blood
The foe of man! the foe of God!
Some poets, in their hymng ways,
Strive to annoy me with their lays;
They have such loads of wit and brainl
No school house could the half contain.
They should divide their weighty verse
And balance thus the universe.
lf all should occupy our side, -4-
The opposite would upward ride
And make immensity wall
SO steep that every thing will fall.
W hat care for their snorting pride,
Though they may Pegasus ride
And part the clouds to either side;
Though through the signs of heaven they run,
F And make more splendor then the sun.
Yet should they reach the pearly gate,
4 voice shall warn them of their fate
And tell them while they choose to sing,
In honor of the whisky ring.
To gain admittance. they must fail,
Though coming on starry trail
With a long rainbow for their tail.
The oyster supper had no whisky
To make person wild and fIisky.
And hence it made some poets mad,
But all the sober ones were glad.
We VOW against strong ink to go
Our rule forbids it all, you know
Thanks to my audience for polite attention.
N. B Il expect to deliver several other lecture
hereafter. J. s. D.
