THE REyBL OF OLD KING DEATH.
Come! stir up the bones and start the fires,
Hold Walt till this trembling wretch expires.
Now start up the music and lead forth the ghost
And open the doors for the countless host.
Young infants claim the same as the old;
reap in the timid and lay low the bold.
The King on his throne level to dust,
The same as the pssssnt-claim is but lust,
With my cold, beny finger I'll point out the
name
To my agent selected TO put in his claimI
No realm OF creation car escape from my grasp
AZ catch at my quarry and stine his gasp.
