No need there ! for me to comment mo:o
On mm who wrote of wur in days of jo ;
My iheine hat naught to do with blood at all
Those ogea wroto of w.ir of a greater ball,
The grand ttjcci who prmonide Ihe itrrct,
'With boivi and 101111' the lovely ladies grocl ;
The soni of Pike try hard like oilier well
To scrape acquaintance with Mssouii belle.
The d.iy wai set) out went a general call
Inviting Piko and Poey to Ihe bull i
From shops to itorei, frmn elorrs to drinking hulk,
Ftst went the news, and soon tho very Mulls
R-cehoed wi:h their cheera. Somu br.Kid'y

Bomu laughed outright, while o'.he.'i wero elm

And reckoning up the incouveni.nt lilt
To whicti all Pike alid Pnn-y flesh s heir,
Their aeody clothe, th.it long hud ilood the wear
And tear of time, but ill becuine a place
Where bellei would flirt iu silks and puwdrr'd lac
A few, to raise the wind, tried curds and d ee,
While oilier of their couirudc hi.ncd llio prica
Of ticket! a few, to uiiiku their entrance good,
Secured the nocdftil dough by ehopp ng wood.
The tedious horn kept lolliig slowly pat,
L'nlil the wadied-fur evening cone at lust ;
And with it came the belle and buxom beau,
To measure i.oju, let them be fust or slow.
And inch a crou d .' 'Twotihl take a Hogarth's p. u
To paint tho motley group of maids and men.
First eaine the brainless dandy, spruce and slim,
With high heeled bouts, and liuir tiXn h i chin:
Ilis lengthy locks were smoo:h'd with greatest care,
And oilvd with guoe greuso, (perhaps 'twas bear.)
A pond'rona pinclib.ck watch-fob p.rue.d h a side,
To which hia puny hand was oft applied
To jingle whut, the rascal knew lull well,

Or ax, in fact he curfed tho man who mads

For I bote who make a living in the school
Of politic) a sort of necessary ill,
Whom pel hap 'twould baldly pny to kill.
Of hook, the only one hu d ever lead
Were tin h a ne'er improved the heart or head :
Koine tilly tule of moonstruck lass or lad,
Who'd lost what little sense ho ever had
Uy being badly scorched in what they cull
"The flume of puppy love," 'lis sa d were all
The w orks whose contents stored bin shallow bru'n,
Except perhaps some snatches fioin Tom Paine.
Whoever steals his puree, robs him of trash,
Tin filled with ruty nails instead of caidi ;
And how he lives, li s luckless landlord knows,
Who says the niscal lives on what he ones.
And wiili him came a partner, nice uud trim,
Whom we've enough described by puiuting him.
Next camo a cncsl who seemed of d flereut mold,
And if 'twas only true that all is gold
That glistens not, he'd surely ''prospect'' well j
The "raise" thill's in him, would be hard to tell.
Ho wa a brawny, burly lo ikiuj eo !ger,
Who doubtless had devoured a vast of "dodger j"
Six feet he stood, with should! broud and full,
Iu boots that spoiled the hide of half 11 bull ;
Hit pauts were tight, nnd uew, without a mend,
But short by half a yard at ueiher end ;
A long-tailed blue, such as the pct said ,
Was worn by Grimes, before Old Grimes was dead.
Bet loosely on his fruma, and dangled low,
Two iuche lower than hi pants could go;
A cotton vest, as white as drifted enow,
Except some spots where ' backer juico" did show,
Enecoueed u 1ran new shirt of cotton twill,
Which, added to kid glove, made out his bill.
His hair, which seldom ever saw a bruvh,
Had just been oiled willi bacon grease or slush ;
Hi tramp wasl.ke a bison's as he went,
And dandies swore they could delect the stoat
Of onions and of whisky 011 his breath,

Soepiocks and dipg're. Pike nnd Poeys, all
Mixed up with clwtchmen, eager for the ball,
Asked Sin.bo soon to rosin up the bow,
And let them at the grand fandango go.
All hand were dreadful anxiou to b gin,
And to the 6ddle screeched with horrid diu.
