To you our thanks, our pence are due;
It was the Emperor of Japan
As much as they that gave the U-
-niversal Penny Postage.
Send up a column to the sky,
Five thousand office inkstands high;
Take for a basement fair to view,
As many reams of “wove demy”;
Write—“To the author of the U-
-niversal Penny Postage.”
