A LAMENT.

Emilio, Emilio,
What news is this we hear.
What horrid tidings fright the air
And start the pearly tear
And dam the blood within our hearts
And fill our chests with rue.
Emilio. Emilio,
1t surely can't be true
Emilio Emilio.
We've cracked you up to be
\ dark-complexioned Washington
Aspiring but to free
Your country from the tyrant's yoke.
Fer battling 'gainst the foe.
Emilio. Emilio,
Oh, say it isn't so.
Emilio. Emilio
Have YOU been hypnotized
Since by ungentlemanly trick
Fred Funston you surprised?
They say that you have quit the game
And signed a shameful pact.
Emilio. Emilio.
1t cannot be fact
Emilio. Emilio
Announcement has been made
That you've abjured crimson war
fNtlu SHSdlHeu your tTuStN DIaue.
That that aforesaid trusty blade
Has never struck a lick.
Emilio. Emilio.
Does not your conscience prick.
Emilio. Emilio.
They say yourself have said
You We're SO busy running
That you couldn't we'll have bled;
And now you've told the Taga!ogs
They'd better stop the feud
Emilio. Emilio,
Where is your gratitude
Emilio. Emilio.
Have you forgot the stacks
OF paper and the quarts of ink
We've used in our attacks
Upon the country of our birth
For which our fathers fought?
Emilio. Emilio.
Shall all this 60 for naught?
Emilio. Emilio.
At treason we've not stopped
In Shri king of your martyrdOm-
And row thew say you've Topped!
You've stutiied our burning words
