MCLEAN AND THE RUNAWAYS

I've wandered to the city, John,
I've sat beneath the tree
Upon the State House playing ground,
That Sheltered you and me,
But none were left te greet me, John,
And few were left to know
The secret of our sliding out,
But three short weeks ago.
The State House is the same, John
That building old and gray,
Beneath whose generous roof, John,
We've known a better day
And Plucky Bob is posing still
Upon the Senate chair,
But the faces of the four, John,
Alas, they are not there!
The chairs are in the Hall, John,
The desks are standing still
But the cohorts of the foe, John,
Those precious places fill;
But we must pause and hear, John,
The adverse tempest blow
From where zoe raised the breeze, John,
But three short weeks ago.
Alas for human hopes, John,
The Fates are wondrous hard,
That see each crafty schemer, John,
Hoist by his own petard;
But we must droop and die, John,
Beneath the cruel blow
While Bob still wears the smile, John,
He wore three weeks ago.

 ""Cos dey's all rich new," he said. 'Yous got lucky stable Gt's private stable you know-no racing horses), an you's lucky man. When yous come to de stable in de mornin' dey'd ax de time. Now spose you said 1O:50; well, dey'd go to de policy shop an play 10 50 and 63, an dey got de 63 by tacking thirteen on to de last fgger and dey allus winned'"
 ssBut that is not horse-raeing," I said. 'fI'll call the negro here and you can see what he says himself. 'Zack,'" when the negro lad responded to the call, "tell this gentleman how you buy pools on the horse race"
 Zack grinned from ear to ear and replied: ssDe ting am done in dis way, sah.
