Let her great name be ever dear!

Dear President! With thee a nation mourns

And sheds kind teardrops on her bier,

For thou hast lost the goodliest wife of earth

And art left ’lone, disconsolate, here.

THE PIRATE ANT

Oh, see her bear her heavy burden,

Undaunted ’gainst the stirring breeze;

The cordlet quakes and tremulous shakes

As the antlet quivers with the trees.
