Poets Corner.
THE MODERN PATRIOT. JUhellion is my ilieme all day ; I only wish 'twould come (Ai who knows but perhaps it may ?) A little nearer home. y.on roaring boys, who rave and fight On t'other side th' Atlantic, I always held them in the right, But most so when most frantic, - "W-hen lawless mobs insult the court. That man shall be my toast, If breaking windows be the sport, Who bravely breaks the most. But O ! for him my fancy culls The choicest flowers she bears, Who constitutionally pulls Your h. use about your ears, Sucdi civil broils are my d-light, Though some folks can't endure them, Who say the mol> are mad outright, And that a rope must cure them. A ropt! I wish we patriots Such stiinus for all who need 'em What ! haiga man for n»ing mad Then farewell British Freedom. Cowper.
