But, lo! from a peak on the mountain grand / That looks out over the smiling land / And over the mighty ocean, / The Eagle is spreading her splendid wings — / She rises, rises, and upward swings, / With a slow, majestic motion.

I am quite convinced,' said Crow, with a caw, / 'That the Eagle minds no moral law, / She's a most unruly creature.' / 'She's an ugly thing,' piped Canary Bird; / 'Some call her handsome — it's so absurd — / She hasn't a decent feature.'

My friends,' said the Owl, with a look most wise, / 'The Eagle is soaring too near the skies, / In a way that is quite improper; / Yet the world is praising her, so I'm told, / And I think her actions have grown so bold / That some of us ought to stop her.'

It is 'Liquor Dealer.' It means soul stealer.

"As Monday goes, so goes the week," dames say. Refreshed, renewed, use well the initial day. And see! thy neighbour already seeks his labour.

When this full throat shall wattle fold on fold, / Like some ripe peach left drying on a wall

A lustrous rocket, rising out of space. Behold the signal of the foe,' cried one.

Snugly creep and fall asleep, / O come, my baby, do; / Creep into my lap, and with a nap, / We'll break the day in two.

And then on the gray granite precipice burst; / And I knew as I counted, while other waves mounted, / I knew the tenth billow would rhyme with the first

The old-fashioned verse with intentional rhymes. / And quite out of date, too, is rhythmical metre; / The critics / declare it an insult to art. / But oh! the sweet swing of it, oh! the clear ring of it, / Oh! the great pulse of it, / right from the heart, / Art or no art.
