They heed not the threat or the jeer OF
Old frumps growing duller and fatter;
Each counts himself fully the peer OF
Officials whom Tories may fistter;
So, to the disgust OF the latter,
The nsolent mummers they see,
WHO MASK" in bizarre rag and latter.
This party who met to take tea
A band it were well to keep clear OF,
AS swiftly their moccaslns patter;
The real honest Injun" we hear of
Had nothing TO do with the matter.

ter,
But genuine TOTAL. All. me-
Would think them all mad as a halter"
This party VINO met TO take tea

And hustle out tier upon tier of
The tea-chests they ruthlessly shatter.
