To THE E.HTOK OT THE NELSON EVENING MAIL. Mr. Editor, "would you allow me to sing you a leetle ditty, ' subject, A leetle Man. Von leetle man, we'll call him Don, The Beau of useless talkers, ••' So spicy prim, so full of whim, And fallacy and baulkers. . Don, acts it prime, tho' wastes his time, And worse, the time .of others, In Council wild, in mind a child, Good sense lie always smothers. Don is so great in his own eyes, So clever and so mighty wise, That all must bow to Don's queer dictum, Or else confess that Don has lickt em. "What matter tho' Don sits six months, And talks and spouts like many a dunce, Twelve months, he says, he'd gladly stay, . No wonder ! since ho gets good pay. No matter who the piper pays, He'll take money, spend his days, And prove that he's a piper jolly, Since none can beat him in his. folly. Oh, Don, I would that thou wert wise, Nor half so big in thine own eyes, With less conceit, more common sense, A man, tho' leetle ever hence. From Don's Friend.
