BACHANALIAN.
Some men there are who follow girto, Caught by a prptty ancle, - . And days and weeks, a vrord, a frown,Their wretched soub will rankle; But give to mo the foaming can, And crown it with good bitter — Tho f roth-toppod can, if your & mux, Yields an enjoyment fitter. , Some men there are will peak and pine Bocauie a maid is cruel; Tho sumphs, I'm sure fate's not mine! Their blood's but water-gruel. But giva to me the well-black'd pipe, And smoke roll'd forth in volumes, And bully >oys, we'll ait and swipe, While wit pours out in columns. Lawrence, 16th September. C.R.C.
