The Printer Mans Plea.

Tell me, ye winged winds,
That round my pathway lay,
Is there no place on earth
Where printers get their pay?
The whispering breeze went by
With accents filled with woe,
A voice borne on the sorrowing air,
In sadness answered, No"
Tell me, ye flowing streams,
That smoothly glide along,
Is there one cherished place,
Where printers meet no wrong?
The gentle brook replied,
In murmurs soft and low,
And winding on its verdant way,
1t meekly answered, No"
Tell me, hard-hearted man,
Withholding day by day,
Is there no honor in thy breast
The printers bill to pay?
Unanswering turns he round
How plain his actions show;
An uttered, oath-capp'd sound is
heard,
His actions answer, No"
Tell me, ye gentle nymphs,
Who bless life's hours through,
Is there one sacred shrine
Where printers get their due?
A mantling blush her cheek suffused,
Did tenfold grace impart.
A soft responsive sigh replied,
:: 'Tis found in woman's heart.
Tell me, angelic hosts.
Ye messengers Of love,
Shall suffering printers here below
Have no redress above?
The angel band replied:
TO US is knowledge given
Delinquents on the printers books
Can never, never, never enter
heaven"
