[122] And for the faithful rank and file,
Who know their proper stations,
Perhaps it may be worth their while
To try the rice plantations.

To see us southward scamper;
The slaves, we know, are “better off
Than laborers in New Hampshire!”
Boston and New York, Houghton, Mifflin and company, 1888-89.
