LAMENT FOR THE TURKIEs.

Ye red d.faced, stalking, feRther'd locks
Ye prudish hens and strutting cocks
What moo will save your necks frae blocks,
An axe, and knife?
Wha but, wi Crdvin stomach, mocks
Your claims to life2
Christmas, the bane o. a your year,
Your desolating foe is here;
An ilka barn.yard, far an near,
Sad tribute pays,
As hungry, greedy gOrmands spier
Your price and place.
Alas Alas but few, ken,
OF a. your race, return again,
To roost, or barn, or fat'ning pen,
Or kindred brood,
Save cock bereaUed, or lOidOlOed hen,
In dropping mood.
Dyspepsia, cholic, aches, and shame,
And ither ills, wilma name,
Befa' him Wha oWre oft shall claim
Sic fowls for fare,
Or grieves his owre dstended wame,
To haud ye there.
