BEAU HICKMAN.
BY J. p. IRVINE.


"Beau Hickman had no friends, but he died
without enemies."-Ereniag Star.
His quarters for testing hereafter,
VIII be pitched in the land of no mirth,
The jester who moved us 10 laughter
At quarter apiece upon earth.
But he'll shamble around and not mind it,
In spite of his bunions and cramps:
Quaint business I reckon he'll find it,
While dunning the angels for stamps.
He will pun on the key of SAINT Peter,
And the trumpet of Gabriel he'll toot,
And bore them in rhyme or in meter,
And tax them quarter to boot
That is, if they charge him for lodging,
But there they ne'er dicker nor trade;
So Beau will be done with his lodging,
Since the debt he owed Nature is paid.
And his face, that was tanned into leather,
suspect will its freshness regain,
For the airs of that beautiful weather
VIII WOO away wrinkles and pain.
have heard that poor Beau was dishonest,
- A statement scorn to believe,
For he paid every cent? he promis't-
Doing neither he did not deceive.
He professed to subsist without labor,
wag, and dead beat, it is true,
But they say he meier slander'd his neighbor,
Which is more than his neighbor can do.
OF his faults have mentioned a sample,
They were many, and barren of love;
But the good have written is ample
TO secure him corner above.
And bid him goodnight, without feeling,
Poor Beau! with yagueness OF tears;
SO stOpp'd have the wheels of his being,
And the weights have run down with the years.
