Says Mr.. George Prince, M c..
IF we don't look out
Well, l should shout
Nit! Not on your tintype,
For dollars or itripe!
Not since the day
When Abe Lincoln-say,
There was a man from the ground
There wasn't enough
Freedom and stuff
To go around;
Not since the time
He abolished the crime
OF slavery here,
And wrote it down clear
And distinct
To the poor unlinked.
That they should be free
AS the birds in the tree .s.s
Not since that day
Has there been any way
To make it out plain
That serfdom should stain
The land Of the free,
And the home of the brave,
And George Prince, M. c.,
Cannot show US. a slave.
And he needn't insist, -
The cold pessinIiSt,,tc e (. t7
That the red and white bars,
And azure decked stars,
Must float o er crew
OF serfs. What say you
To this new
Hullabaloo
Kicked up by this Prince
OF Darkness intense?
Serfs! Go chase
Yourself out of the human race.
