And views your efforts with smile.
Your venom keeps his fame alive
As dung helps vegetation thrive.
Volleys of spite that on him pour
By friction make him shine the moro.
When first started this short ditty
Thought to stay within the city;
But now I've got my rhyme in motion.
To step aside have notion,
And see Ezekiel at the spring:
For gentlemen he keeps an Inn.
He is knave, make no doubt
And have lately found him out.
Now this Ezekiel, like fool.
Was by the Junto made a tool;
He never started such scheme,
Nor ever tries to lead n team;
But he'll draw we'll when he can know
Which way the strongest horses 20.
A puff of wind that starts feather
Drives him the poplar side forever.
Tr m this we come some scenes to trace
Aboutthe pleading in this case:
The first that spoke was lawyer Mink;
He tried to make the people think
He did not harbor in his mind
Malice nor spite of any kind!
This is a lie that he has made,
For you know lying Is their trade.
They joined with google eyes to try,
Who quickly learned them how TO lie.
HiE real name I'll not disclose
His finished swindling labor shows
Enough OF turpitude internal
To damn him into fame eternal
Yet he is by this gang supported,
BY them caressed, and by them c0urted:
His native place he had to fee
III fame tells truIh) for knavery.
There every heart and every purse
Stand ready to give him curse.
The next that spoke was small Yankee:
think the Judge did not thank ye,
Because the truth was too severe
For them In quietude to hear.
Nay, twas thing with them so rare,
Its cutting force they could not hear.
Therefore they said in short decree
1t hurt the Judges dignity
Rose dignity YES. strange the sort
That can't hear truth without being hurti
A dignity OF such rare merit
As none but Buckeye Courts inherit.
Next Granny Williams rose 10 speak:
Il was in hopes he would not freak.)
He rose erect with courage stout, ....
Hamm'd twice or thrice, and then spoke out,
4Btrung up his energetic thro.t 3'
: Like one that's hailng for q boat;
But ere he got to half his reach,
Or half the length OF his wise speech
Nay, scouting on the very border
This man OF lungs got out Of order;
And as 1t seemed by many strain
He could not well get in again,
Like breaking Of string OF fiddle
His time speech snapped about the middle;
And yet think The poor old soul.
BY his assistance through the whole,
May think ne ought to lay claim unto
Bone b bidge tf honor from this Junto.
Then give him, sirs, for all his aid
6Ome feather breeches ready made;
Then put those brceches on his legs
And sent him on nest OF eSgs;
For hatching chickens Is the trade
For which think this man was made.
Al length the Bull Head (Gazlay's f0e)
Did rise with spunk to puff and blow;
But, sir, however, full OF venom.
We ask your honor (Bull Head B y
When you stood tipte looking wesG
With outspread arms and swollen breast
To give those words solemn air.
Which must be done by stretch and stare
And make his crimes appear in brief,
Worse than the murderer OF thief.
Whether you did not think In truth
About your own most solemn oath.
That You were bound by all that's civil
To serve your clients-n0t the devil?
But then II here the muse may blab 1t,
This Is a man Of STEADY habt!'
Methinks one day as l was straying,
heard him TO himself n saying,
al shall be on the Congress floor
In a short space-two years or mo:e."
No doubt Congress he will find
That's calculated to his mind
Will claim his seat among that club
At whose right hand is Beelzebub,
And at that bar plead all the cases
For jacks and mules and Gozzlc faces
O HORACE, in.
