Whether Adam in Paradise thought it
worth while
To invent for himself an Edenish tile,
Is n matter of learned dispute.
But very certain it is, his sons ever
since
Have thought Hat needful, from
peasant to prince
To distinguish the man from the
brute.
The Mohammedan fogy for ages, he
says
Has stuck to his head-gear of turban or

The girls of the Harem to "mash "

While we infidel Franks, he declares

Will don new Hat every day in the

because II meant the defeat Of
