|I like such Brooks," said Falstaff once;
``Had he meant _ours_ he'd been a dunce;
`The devil, whom all things evil please,
``Could never stand such Bruoks as these.=
`In the Tyrol on mountain high
``"The Devil's Marble" you may spy;
`And if in the World you long remain,
``You'll probably meet the same again.=
`Och, Johnny, my gun--let the truth be aid,
``What the divil made _ye_ turn Copperhid?
`Sure it was hivvy what ye bore,

``Who went from bad doctrines to worse.
`If at law he should see his name prefaced by _re,_
``It will show what he _should_ feel; this M------.=
```There was a small Cozening shyster;
``Said he, "Every case is an _eyester;_
`Give the parties the shells if you can, and nought else,

``There's a man at the _Bar_ who, we know,
``Is in politics terribly _low_;
`For he keeps in the clubs the secessional cubs,
``Who in _propria persona_ can't go.=
``There's a very bad-minis-trator,
``A_ très petite pomme de tater_,
`Who tears feelings to rags, presenting of flags;
``This oily old adminis-_traitor_.=
``There's a wide-awake Copperhead cratur',
``Who is Eli by name and by natur';
`Displaying for one neither fashion _nor ton_,
``This un-national nativist traitor.=
