Floyd.--Capt. Villiam Brown Eskerrie, in the New-York Mercury, thus brings “alliteration's artful aid” to the immortality of Floyd in verse: Felonious Floyd, far-famed for falsifying,
Forever first from Federal forces flying,
From fabrications fanning fortune's fame,
Finds foul fugacity factitious fame.
Fool!
facile fabler!
fugitive flagitious!
Fear for futurity, filcher fictitious I
Fame forced from folly, finding fawners fled,
Feeds final failure — failure fungus-fed.
