[There was a fire the other day]
 
[In the crowded street we found him]
 
[Yon clock—the Dutchman in the window there]
 
[A blue coat!—ah, my country's uniform!]
 
[The wind went howling round the town]
 
[O, this dismal influenza!]
 
[I saw an organ grinder in the street]
 
[As I along the street did go]
 
[Conductor Gilmore lay in sleep]
 
[How dull it is! and so are we]
 
[If you wish to know what you should do]
 
[Mrs. Ben Blifkins (may she ne'er grow less)]
 
[O glorious Fourth! how patriotism fires]
 
ON A BUTCHER'S LETTER.
 
[Suppose the spear of grass should say]
 
[My friend had on a coat quite seedy]
 
[When June's hot sun pours down in fervid beams]
 
[All the day, all the day]
 
[Little troubles are by these defined]
 
[A princess marries! Lord, the fuss they make!]
 
[I wrote within an album once sweet things]
 
[Of all the features humanly appearing]
 
[Hogarth affirmed the line of beauty lay]
 
[There is a picture, pinned against my wall]
