The Triumvirate.

[To Jos. H. Douglass, Violinist, Chas. E. Mitchell, Esq., Editor and Jas. E. Meriweather, M. D., on the occasion of a Thanksgiving Dinner tendered the author by them at the residence of Mr. Lewis H. Douglass, in Washington, D. C., Nov. 1892.]
Hail the illustrious three!
Gladly I sing to thee,
This song of praise:
Long may thy glory shine,
In every age and clime,
And may I claim thee mine,
In coming days!
Joe gives us music fine,
And “gets there” every time,
When e'er you call;
Charles is a “hustler” sure,
Jim is my friend of yore,
And each one I adore,
God bless them all!
