ORIGINAL POETRY.
OUR BOYS. Who ape with pride the airs of men ; Who smoke and sometimes drink at ten : Who spoken to, retort again ? Our Boys. Who foremost are in scenes of riot; In play or meeting can't be quiet;' Who love the best of dainty diet ? Our Boys. Who take delight in being lewd ; Conceited are and very rude, And yet withal exceeding crude ? Our Boys. j Who band together after dark ; . Nor fear the honest watch dog's bark • But play the devil for a lark ? Our Boys. Who rarely read, but go the pace ; Who stare each stranger in the face, And prove to us a sad disgrace ? Our Boys. Censob.
