A DYSPEPTIC ODE.

Let poets rave, as poets will,
About the hearts control,
And in their lofty lyrics still
Its vital worth eXtol;
l, who must walk in humble ways
And modest muses. WOO,
l write this simple song to praise
The liver good and true.
Pray tell me what are hearts to men
What's anything, alack!
To us poor bilious creatures when
The liver's out of whack?
While sentiment, I grant it, is
Quite proper in it's place,
Yet when we get right down to "biz,"
The liver sets the pace.
So let's not to the dreamy bards'
Soft caroling succumb,
For he who clearest truth regards
viii keep his liver plumb;
He knows full well a heart may bless
A mortal, in a way,
But oh! it's quite IN. g." unless
His liver's all 20. K"
And here and now I make my plant
To all the cooks. Beware
On what you feed us, for a saint
On bile distressing fare
Must soon become a demon! Yes,
You guide us, day by day,
For p%iousness and biliousness
Go different paths, they say.
