THE CHARGE OF THE FOUR HUNDRED.
Rateb to the right of us, Rates to the left of us, Rates cast and \\ cs>t of us, To make up Four Hnndred. The times may be very bad, ]?ut the money must be had, Or the settling will be sad O'er this Four Hundred. When S— said down with the " rit," The Council looked aghast and mute, Knowing 1 that S — would prosecute To get his Four Hundred. The Mayor held his hand on high, Ard put the question—" No" or " aye ?" The Council assenting with a. sigh, Said, pay the Four Hundred I What care we for the cost ? Though the money may be lost, The Burgesses will suffer most In paying the Four Hundred. All our money — it is gone — But we will now raise a loan ; We care not tho' ratepayers groan In paying the Four Hundred.
