To many a merry sally;

I sparkle, and to ashes turn,

Men’s spirits worn to rally.

Thrice thirty ills that press folks down,

I fumigate like midges;

In country, city, little town,

My charm some care abridges.

Yon chattering Stiggins with a craze,

In little sharps and trebles,

A hubbub makes in my dispraise—
