She has left this vale of sorrow she has skipped this
plane of tears
And from all the evidence that's in this simple fact
appears,
That for whoopIng up a breakfast, Cerintha topped
them all
But she skirmished with the little which snatches
short and tall
She had sense akin to equine and constitution
tough,
Her talents were quite various, her taking off was
rough.
She merely laid the lid aside and poured In some to
start her.
And the golden stairs she ambled up the fragments
going arter. -
According to that truthful youth, the Ophcleide's
new local,
The kinsfolk or the scattered chez made street and
alley vocal
With revllings of the grocer the vena middle-man,
Who put the non'explosive Oil In her Navigation

4 DO NOT LIKE TO HEAR HIM
PRAY.

do not like to hear him pray
Who loans at twenty-five per cent,
For then, think, the borrower may
Be pressed TO pay for food and rent;
And In the book We all should read,
Which says the lender should be blessed,
As sure as l have eyes to read,
II does not say take interest
I do not like TO hear him pray
On Bonded knee, about an hour,
For grace to spend Alright the dag,
Who knows his neighbOr has no -four;
I'd rather see him go 10 mill
And buy the luckless brother bread,
And see the children eat their I'LL
And laugh beneath their shed.
do not like to hear him pray:
Let blessings on the widow be,
Who never seeks her home to say,
If want o'ertakes you come to me-
i hate the prayer, so loud and long,
That's offered for the orphans veal
By him who sees him crushed by wrong,
And does not for his sufferings feel.
/ do not like to hear her pray,
With teweled ear and sillen dress,
Whose washerwoman tolls all day
And then Is asked TO work for less.
Such pi0us shearers despise,
With folded hands and lace demure;
They lift to heaven their angel eyes,
And steal the earnings OF the poor.
