The PENN is mightier than the sword--
Of any Red-Rad whipster.
I _said_ he'd win--doubted _my_ word;
But I'm the O.K. tipster.
Rads roughed on me and called me "Bung;"
I've bunged them up--a corker--
At the result their heads they hung.
_They_ whip the Witler? Walker!
We're the PENN-holders. For their man
That One-Six-Nine-Three nicked him,
Witlers warmed up "Old Warmingpan;"
PENN gave him odds, and licked him.
"Villadom" did its duty--game;
Rads jeered it; that's their mania.
Lewisham? No, we'll change the name,
And call it--PENN-Sylvania!

ugly, wouldn't she make a great mistake were she to combine the two
qualities, and be "fast-'idious"?
