This was certainly true at the famed Fancy Fair;
Mr. Cross[2] was, they say, the most pleasant man there.
Let us hope, then, his genius was happily led
To allay the rude storm that hung over his head;—
That the future his spirited plans will repay
Through many a gladsome and prosperous day;
Make true the old saw, “All is well that well ends,”
And Bipeds and Quadrupeds once more be friends.
