They come, they come
kuw the drum
Up and dosu d ong the street
Moves our feet,
While our ardors greet
With a newly quckrnes heat,
And IaTe uleuSure,
The proud measure
OF the dear delightful beat.
Why one feels IN his hee,s
A thousand zeais;
As it steals
On and peals
Till ones ioilcky sidewalk
Right on the side walk
Reveals
An aptitude for Ieels
Who is the wondrous trouoadour,
Master Of such musical lore
And power to trance,
That comes it Ger
Us in every score
Till with pas. .ionsta glance
We pral ce and dance
Retieat whiil and ad vance
More and more
And lorg for a lance,
blad- or a club
To tap some Radical gore.
lis the Iub-a dub duo
OF Senator
Who can SO intoxcate
Crowd if he be not a satyrl
Mythology stamps the race uGcouth
And certes. Booth,
Tho none his music can Withstand some
Feel qulte free
To agree
That down to the knee
He's not exqusitely handsome.
Just two of his reeds
Best serve his needs,
Since they have b come sticks
Fol use as drumsticks
While upon third
That absurd
Little Mari distends his cheeks,
Cows and blows
yill the tears bedsw his nose,
And tie pipe creaks,
Sgueaks aid shreks,
And seeks
To keep up with the bang aud din
That Booth beats out from within
The cumbersome
Whose mighty swell he
AND bears
2s an artificial belly.
See,
As Booths metres wildly toss US
Aud the wondrOus waltz
Soul and sole exalts,
bow in nobls pride
HE doth bestride
The narrow world like Colossus"
His verv eye
Speak authority
TO dream high dreams and plau, sir,
And says Look at
Democr&',
An eminent partisan, sir,
And TO be neither prOfane nor vain
would explain
That-Damn
1t, sir-I sm
very remarkable man sir"
There is power in his head,
There is fire in it's red,
There is might in his tread,
Et cetera;
Traita whence fOreteli can
Glory to the Pelican
when tyranis bold shall beset her or
And up and down
With lordly frown
His mighty drum DEGREES his
Will, which the people seizes
And teases and p eases
And kicks up series Of breezes,
And each passer suddenly frees his
Legs OF all rheumatic ills
And all unt Xpended thrills
OF his rusty old quadrilles,
While Mari wheezes
through the Town
The fife and drum; they come,
'Tls a squeak anu grunt
That I'VE won't, We won't
Surrender lads
To the Rads.
We are no flock crazy
But Q proud Democracy
That will fight
And smite,
And sffrtght
And put to Il ght
fhem all or lay them on the shelves
And take each office Tor ourselves,
Every man that can
Shall an M office ft J have nay as waTrmiHg.pan, war
Will be the'truly bold
Who march in our noble van."
'Tis squeak and grunt-
'.step up to the fIont;"
grunt and q squeak,
Don't be over meek,
Nor sneak
III post you 5eek,
rYuAu At the charge Of prodigal cheek.
But speak
Right out, If your mind will let it,
just what YOU want, and shrek
Anti-Radcal pique.
Ken though loud the Radical scott is
At our probable chance for an Office
Don't you wish you may get itP"
But upon my life
The magical power
or the asthmatic fife
And the fAtulent drum
Had 80 made me succnmb;
I'd not seen for an hour
That although many hoiloaed,
Few sanguinely followed,
Or seemed to partake
OF the heavy huzzs
That Booth and MARI
Sought to awake.
q while 10 put in q little work, Or
" ON the regular old mazourka,
Uell, and along the banquette to akin,
