THAT CQLD-WAYE FLAG
Oh! Take the ''cOld-wayen banner down,
No longer let il fly:
It's time enough 10 SILVER when
The ''wave" itself draws nigh.
That pirate flag i but a scheme

Or cause boom in overcoats
And swell 'Cheap Isaac's''- roll.

As that strange flag doth float,
And straightway buys q house and lot
While champagne clears his throat.

And into town doth splutteT

And likewise that of butter.

1t chills the very soul
Or take it to the Arctic sea
And tack it to the Pole.
