THE BOLD BUCCANEER. Iwas a bold buecane„, „,.„ .. w „„ w , lv , „„„ street In a smooth silk hat and a long frock coat; And close to his club he cha-ced to meet A trimming bard, with a tremulous throat, Clad round lis limbs, as a bard should be, In the garb of the aristocracy. The singer, he seized the warrior's hand; His pulse beat high that grasp to feel, " And you come,'' he cried, " from a distant land, That rings with the clang of your clashing steel 1 Nay, tell me your doughty deeds," said he, " To enshrine in immortal poesy 1" To-day, as of old, will our champions take Their lives in their hands where the battle is keen; " You fought and bled, like Raleigh 01 Drake, For old England's fame, and to serve your Queen." " Well, not exactly that," said he ; " We fought for a Limited Company." The bard, he winced, for his soul was high ; For to break the letter is not to sin. He thought to himself of Nelson's eye, And of Hawkins, who disobeyed to win. " There were maidens and babes to lave," said he, " When jou dashed on your raid across the seal' The bold buccaneer, he eyed him hard, With a delicate quiver about the lid; He saw in his soul that the well-dressed hard j Mistook the note of your modern Oid. 'j 'Tvvas cur stocks and shares, you knew," said he, " That stood in particular jeopardy." The poet, he heaved a quiet sigh. "Yet, still, 'twas a glorious cause," he cried; " For your couotry's pake you strove to die." The bold buccaneer, he stepped aside. " You don't understand finance," said he; " 'Twas trie glorious cause of £ s. d." Gbant Allen.
