Isle of St Helena

Roar'd out Kalph, ' cheat, come answer me
that.'
At this Moses began for to rave,
How it was'n't using honest folks well,
For the razors were not made to shave,
'Pon his conscience, but only to sell.
Ri um ti idity a &c.

The mob, who the quarrel had heard,
Agreed that the Jew was a cheat,
And seizing old Smouch by the board,
Did him most unmerciful beat.
Then they roll'd him in feathers and tar,
And set him up an horrible howl;
When had you but seen un, Ize swear,
You'd have taken un for a wild fowl.
Ri um ti idity a &c.

No sooner loose than he run,
Udzooks full as swift as the mail,
While the butcher dogs join'd in the van,
And follow'd un close at his tail.
Now my tale I'se conclude with a wish,
That those who to cheat the poor try, zirs,
May meet with reception like this,
Especially Monopolizers.
Ri um ti idity a &c.

                     DULL CARE.

Begone, dull care, I pray thee begone from ^me
Begone, dull care, you and I can never agree,
