original poet nr. An INAUGURAL ODE; .• Supposed to have bun Jung at the tied sons and tnftallations tj public officers, and tranjlated Jrom oiu oj Cleon*/ Indian manu/cripts, at kit dtjirt, by FHILO-CLEON. Tone— Tanktt-doodle* YE Aldermen, of all degree, No matter —whig or tory, I with to entertain and please Your Worlhips, with a ftorjr. Conje, *ll that to- your group belong, Let all your tools attend too ; And join in chorus with my song, I hope it won’t offend you. What flgnifies the vile canaille, Their snarling and their filtering;- ? Y our bonejt party can By jujt electioneering. Now eome, ye jolly voters all, And ling wauv’ral ditty. With merry hearts, a* you inftaK The Mayor of your city. « There was a family of cate, ,Inhabited a cottage ; And feon there came a swarm of rate To rob. them of their pottage. i And yet thefo cate (O strange to tell 1 )•' In pity would not rout them; But fuller’d such vile rate to dwell In amity about them* Thua free to range as each might chufe, They were prodigious gainers; They’d Hatter, cheat, and then abuse Their gen’roua entertainers. i They were a curious, motley crew, Krona far remote dominions ; And rats of vast importance too— At lead, iu their opinions. A little, pert, conceited rat, A fop—-by. name, M*Fribble;-‘ Who lov’d to ffrut, to grin and chat; > And others’ dilhes nibble. He was in Caledonia born; Aud yet, with rude effiout’ry,. AH oners he’d pretend to (corn, But ne’er would own his country. Yb (hew Ids wit and courage'once,. He raaue this declaration; That ev’iy cat was k ave or duna Without difcriminavion. Two gen’rous cats their paws forbore, At this absurd reflection ; They ouly view’d the reptile o’er;— * Contempt was bis protection. This group of rats, >a num’rous clan,* Long us’d to plots and treason; In nightly patties, form’d a plan, The government to seize on. That hone should vote,-a 4a wM been made; • Except an occupier Os house or !ot;*—but rats evade' Such bar* to their dehrei And, for electioneering war, To qualify each' bumpkin, They rented their apartments for* A turltty or a pumpkin . From hence a wordy war arose, In which waa mighty feribblingf It had not yet arriv’d to blow*, It was but gentle nibbling. At length a rat, with phiz of flame, A pompous, party minion, Who /marl'd thro’ ev’ry change of name | Qbjtrvtr, Bambardtnson . He knew to make a period round, From ancient authors gleaning; And dealt in word* of mighry found, But words without a mssuiug. He knew to coin a word at willj (A fig for Dictionary) Aud could a lofty period fill With an inaugotary. Quoth he —“ For you I'M take the field, “ With my bombafiie thunder, « I*ll make each paltry scribbler yield, And ev’ry cat knock under/* Ye rate of arrogance attend,— And autjely jbun a quarrel » Accept this fable from a friend) And proft by its. moral, NOTICE Is hereby given, that in behalf of Peter Wikoff, I intend to apply to the Superior Court of the couuty of Burke> to eftablilh 1 his right aud title to two several traCts of laud, situate in the said county of Burke, one containing four hundred acres, the other one hundred and fifty acres mortfot less, adjoining each other, for which a con veyance was executed to him by Abraham Lundy and his wife (which conveyance is lofti) and previous to my application, ftiail depufite in the'Clerk’s office of that county, the substance as nearly as may be, of that con veyance properly attested.
