By a sly dextrous turn,

To the man in the churn,

And the farmer, who eagerly listened o'erhead;

Whereat the young Irishman volubly gave

A short dissertation,

Whose main information

Was that one was a fool, and the other a knave.

"SEVERAL TIMES HE, WITH POLICY STERN,
REPRESSED A DESIRE TO BREAK OUT OF THE CHURN."
