A votary of Bacchus!

“A nice quintette! The more I look

I seem to grow the sicker;

Two elephants—two more in rags—

The fifth, he is in liquor!

“But Mr. Partridge, he will see

These wrongs are not repeated—”

’Twas wasting words, for with a frown

The ’Bus Conductor knocked me down,

And cried. “Now you are seated!”
