TIE BOTTLE AND THE BIRD.
Once on time n friend of mine prevailed on
me to so
To see the dazzling splendors of sinful
ballet show:
And afte- we had revealed in the saItatory
sights
We sought neighboring cafe for more tangi-
bic delights.
When | demanded OF my friend what vands
he preferred
He quoh: "A large cold bottle, and small
hot brd
Fool that l was, did not know what anguish
hidden lies
Within the moroccan that allureS the nostrils
and the eyes.
There Is n glorious candor In an honest quart
of wine,
A certain inspiration which I cannot well
define.
How it bubbles, how it sparkles, how 1t
gugling to say:
Cont, on Il tide Of rapture let me float your
SOIL away!'
But tie crispy, steamlng mouthful that is
Spead upon your plate,
How discounts human sapience and satlrizes
fa.
You couldn't think a thing small could
case the pains and aches
Thatrertainiy accrue TO him that of that
Ting partakes;
To ID, at least, Ga guileless wightD 1t never
ore occurred
Whathorror was encompassed In that small
h bird.
Oh, hat Il head 1 had on ME when 1 awoke
MT day,
And what firm conviction OF intestinal
day!
Wha seas of mineral water and of bromide
hpplicd
To tcnch those fierce volcanic fires that
rtcd inside
Andh the thousand solemn, awful VOWS /
Irhted then
Neveto tax my system with a small hot bird

! But less him! since / ate the bird, I guess

The cidous condition Of my stomach he
Besrc vinous irritant that amplfled my
Washe large cold bottle,-not the small
bird.
Howyeet is retrospection when ones heart
bathed in wne
And fore it's balmy breath how do the Ills

HOWE gracious juices drown what griefs
yld vcx q mortal breast,
Andat the flattered soul into the port OF

Butu, o noxous, pygmy bird! whether it
Eou fly,
Or die in the stagnant pools that swelter
fostering lie,
I CT you and your evil kind for that you

Enacring posons that corrupt my petted

Go, thee hence! and never more discomfit
and mine,
would barter all thy brood for one
set draught of wine.
