oLEAVING OFF IN A GREAT MEASURE
Isl player. hope we have reformed that indif
ferenty with u.s.


Hamlet. Oh, reform it altogether. [Shaks.
Two topers such we once calld "jolly"
Experience shows them melancholy
Were met their :" leven o'clock" to sip
In other words, to take their flip.
A mug was brought and emptied soon,-
A double mug before twas noon,
And now, both pretty well " how fare ye,"
Sought position somewhat airy,
Where the steam might be better let OIL,
And the fumes pass, before they set oil.
A Washingtonian pass'd along
Not like the Priest and Levite throng,
On t'other side--but came straight up,
A nd haiPd, as men, those OF the cup.
sense of shame came DER their face
Not wholly lost ID their disgrace
And how to frame fair excuse,
Their wit was taxed, and came in use.
Says one -" This drinking is all wrong
We see it now--have felt it long
We cannot go the whole hog yet
But still we've taper'd off bit,
And mean, ere long, to quit our cups,
Sick of these constant downs and ups.
In proof of which, we tell you now,
We both this day have made VOW
Which you will learn with greatest pleasure
And just left off-in great measure. G.K.
