. * . * ‘ * I POETRY. —S®g©®o®@® SONG. (From a new American farce, entitled, tl the better Jort , or, the girl of spirits lately pub hjhed in Bojlcn.) A Song, a song, * 8 the cry °f mankind, All know what to tingin'? belongs ; ? Tis interest governs us all, you will find, And givss us the pitch of our fougs. The miser, with riches who’s never content, Can tell what is right or is wrong, For he joins in the chorus of twenty per cent. And owns it a very good song. Behold the mechanic, the federal lad, Who hopes that the union is strong ; But fays it is money that makes theheart glad, And hammers away with a song. The merchant is punctual -• to fee himfelf paid, And wirties for credit that’s long, Yet fltike up the ditty of commerce and trade, How quickly he joins in the song. The lawyer and parson do know very well The ‘things that to singing belong, One fingers the fees ere a word lie can tell— One “ tutn6 off his flock with a song.” * * . u And Washington too, the heroe and sage, To Heaven he carols this fong:— <( The bleflings which thou to Columbia gave, ** O Heaven f I pTay thee prolong.” 'GEORGIA.
