ode to the North and South. O Jonathan and Jefferson, Come, listen to my song; I can't decide, my word upon, Which of you is most wrong. I do declare I am afraid To say which worse behaves, The North, imposing bonds on Trade, Or South, that Man enslaves. And here you are about to fight, And wage intestine war, Not either of you in the right; What simpletons you are! Too late your madness you will see, And when your passion cools, “Snakes!” you will bellow; “how could we Have been such ‘tarnal fools!” One thing is certain; that if you Blow out each other's brains, 'Twill be apparent what a few Each blockhead's skull contains.

air--Scots, wha hae. Countrymen of Washington! Countrymen of Jefferson! By Old Hick'ry oft led on To death or victory! Sons of men who fought and bled, Whose blood for you was freely shed, Where Marion charged and Sumter led, For freemen's rights!

Death or liberty! --N. O. Picayu
