A PUBLIC DINNER.

“I arn’t ashamed to say I sit and veep

To think of Seven Year of keepin Sheep,

The spooniest Beasts in Nater, all to Sticks,

And not a Votch to take for all their Ticks!

“If I’d fore-seed how Transports would turn out

To only Baa! and Botanize about,

I’d quite as leaf have had the t’other Pull,

And come to Cotton as to all this Vool!
