Through the bellowing broker, there amid,
Who made the terrible, final bid!
High over all, and ever higher,
Was heard the voice of Israel Freyer,—
A doleful knell in the storm-swept mart,—
“Five millions more! and for any part
“I’ll give One Hundred and Sixty!”
Israel Freyer—the Government Jew—
Good as the best—soaked through and through
With credit gained in the year he sold
