THE LOST DRUNKARD.sag o4is9
Lost on the night Of the twelfth Of July, g4aa
A queer looking man with one very black eye;
The other is steaked, and speckled with RET, ,ah
And sticks out feet or less from his head;
The hair on his pate SO entangled has grown, ed
From the want Of attention in using comb,
That Lawyer himself, would be sadly per-rG


picked, a Bah
To understand how it became so annexed. Ba8
His Nose, like barber's pole, ring striped, and


speckled--


His Cheeks, like turkey egg, swelled out and \


freckled-


His Mouth by hard usage, had visable


pucker, 4Y
Which plainly denotes he's terrible sucker. ioa
His body, hogshead, with capacious dmen-

His hat, once good one, now minus crown,
With one rim sticking upward, the other turn

weather. eL
While his boots, SOLE and body, will not hold
together,
Now know all ye men whom it SHOULD con-
