THE MINSTREL.
Come all you jolly graziers And man your yards of clay, And while you quaff jour pint of beer Exnlt with us to-day ; For we have gained a victory And Hamilton's done brown, 'Tis settled that Ohaupo is To be the Hounty Town. We quashed the legal learned man Whe tried to come it big, For his importance vanishes When seen without his wig ; And though his talk m Courts of law May hare a little weight, . - ] We showed him th*t we knew the Act Whatever he might state. We placed the Major m the chair. But dil not vote a screw, He also was elected clerk For love, the work to do j Then homeward trotting merrily Having settled all our ''biz," We told the news to Edwards, who' Eefreshingly stood " fizz." Tom Smat.il.mann, P iterangi,_loth January, 1877.
