AWAY from me all jests and slurs,
On Pennsylvania senators,
Save those alone the Tergent few,
Who from the senate-house withdrew
When was proposed new government:
For as if demon had been sent,
To strike them with phrenetic fury,
They ran off headlong hurry scurry:
Some ran to cellars, or absconded
In kitchens, and were there impounded.
'Mongst these there ran a western wight,
Who took the fore way in the flight;
He got a garret by his clambering,
And lay all day in his mind hammering
Escape from danger and alarms
Of furious, fiery sergeant at arms,
Aided by tumultous rabble,
Who from the gallery slipt cable
To take and bring him to the house,
While here he lay entrenched like mouse.
