THE MISCHIEFS OF DRINKING.
1 WHEN we think of chill starvation,
When we think of sighs and team When we think of pale privation, When wc think of doubts and fears ;
2 When we think of raging madness,
When we think of reckless beings, When we think of death-like sadness,— Nature's most distressing scene's ;
3 When we think of horrid murder*
Female virtue lost in crime ; When we think of black self-slaughter* Let us ever bear in mind,
4 That the cursed love of drinking
Hath produced the greater part$ And that thousands now are sinking, Pierc'd by dissipation's dart*
25 C. M.
1 GO self-polluted loathsome wreteh, The scourge of human kind, Go waste thy substance and thy state,
And brutalize thy mind.
2 Go haunt the taverns night and day,
The time thus spent in vain, Will bring disease and wo and death, And barter peace for pain.
3 Go like a demon to thy house,
Destroy each comfort there; And from thy sorrowing family Wring out the bitter tear* |
