And inasmuch as freedom's here, ; if,
Of speech to all's extended, ;. " v
I hope at what I have to say, r i ,
-Ho one will get offended. . - -
But should the Boot go tighter on
; If I your-corns should trample -Why,

Become a good example. . "
For many, m&ny thingstherc are,'
As through this world we c. owd un, ;

Decidedly we're down on. : : '
I'm down on sharpers knavish men, 1
, Who think it smart and fuuny,
To take a ucoimtry genius" in, :
2 And "do" him of his money.
No; wonder that the country swains
Distrust these 4fancy Vitties, -
Or dearly loves their rural homes
- And damn the the cussed cities.
I'm down on those religious men '
Those bigots so short sighted 1
As to believe all otlie sects
Are sir ful and benighted, - -
No matter what your virtues tre,;
--If you regard them lightly,s- ' 'i-i .
The devil's got you by the nose,
v J Arid he will hold you tightly? "
I'm down on those strong minded dames,
('Twere wrong to call them ladies)
Who 'mong the men would cradle wheat
Much sooner, far, than babies.
With dresses brief, and high-heeled boots
They'd issue from their houses "
And bravely sport along the sjree ts i
A pair of doeskin trowsers. " -;. -'.
