In silver, gold, and copper,

Presents from "Friends to blacks," or foes to whites,

"Trifles," and "offerings," and "widows' mites,"

Plump legacies, and yearly benefactions,

With other gifts

And charitable lifts,

Printed in lists and quarterly transactions.

As thus—Elisha Brettel,

An iron kettle.

The Dowager Lady Scannel,
