SONG BY SIR ABEL HANDY.

'Twas on a summer morning in this tropical July,

A happy thought impelled me an experiment to try.

Hot early, weather promised to be more hot later on:

What were the highest grade the glass would register anon?

A delicate thermometer, the Fahrenheit, was mine;

I placed it in the solar-beams direct, A.M., at nine.
