Text Appearing Before Image:
onsider dear old England as the fountain Of all institutions reputably SanWe abominate and loathe a Rocky Mountain;We regard a rolling prairie with disdain. We assiduously imitate the polish That we notice round the English nabob hat:. We unfailingly endeavor t abolish From our voices any tra< 102 THE BUNTLING BALL. Every patriotic duty we leave undone, With aversion such as Hebrews hold for pork, Since we venerate the very name of LondonIn proportion to our hatred of New York. No entreaty could in any manner soften Our contempt for native tailors, when we dress ; If we bet, we lay a guinea, rather often, And Ave always say I farncy for I guess. We esteem the Revolution as illegal; If you mention Bunker Hill to us, we sigh;We particularly execrate an eagle, And we languish on the fourth day of July. We are not prepared in any foolish mannerThe vulgarities of Uncle Sam to screen ;We dislike to hear that dull Star-SpangledBanner,But we thoroughly respect tl God Save theQueen.

Mrs. Buntling.Rank treason riots in their daring song. Florimel Filigree.They sing but what they feel. So bear with them. Mrs. Buxtling.Rather than bear with them would I rebuke. Florimel Filigree.Twere rash to tempt their Anglomaniac scorn. Mrs. Buntling.Rash though it were, I yearn to speak my mind. THE BUNTLING BALL. io< Tm \\\ I 1.1.R. Most gracious lady, supper is announced. Mrs. Bunti inc. I miss not merely Jane, but also him,My lord, Alonzo, master of this feast. Chorus of Belles.Where is Alonzo,Round as a barrel,Hating to don soSmart an apparel ?Supper is calling him,Martyr yet master.Is there disasterDarkly befalling him ?He should be near usIn stout actuality,Ready to cheer usWith fine hospitality.Does he forsake us, 106 THE BUNTLING BALL. Far in some upper room,W
