SONNIT-2 A OLD HOSS.

A ALLEGORY—SEJESTED BY THE MELONKOLY SPEKTAKLE UV
A DIMEKRAT OUT UV OFFIS FOR 6 YEARS.

Mizable quaderped! thy sharpened back,
Edged up by hunger, lumped and ridged,
Thy wunst plump form by famine fowl abridged,
Betokens eggsile long from fodder rack,
And totle abstinence from oats. Say, hoss,
Wat are yoo thinkin about? Do yoo still dwell
On long ago, when oats yoor frame did swell,
And when another, not a drayman, wuz yoor boss?
Do yoo still dream uv colthood, when, uv traces free,
Yoo nipt the clover in yoor native feelds,
And in sheer wildness kick-ed up yoor heels,
And reigned the monark uv the bucheous lea!
Dismiss the thot, poor brute, uv hoss the gost,
Yoo dream uv clover, but yoo wake to post![1]
 
[1]

Alloodin to a barberous practis uv tyin hosses to posts, and allowin uv em to stand all day without food. The poor beasts becum famisht, and gnaw the posts, wich is faceshusly called feedin em post-oats. Hosses hev bin known to die from too libral allowances uv this kind uv fodder. Alas! wat a strikin picter this pome presents uv a Bookannon post-master. Alas!
