ODE TO PEACE.
Cease that strepent trumpet's sound!
Let softer notes abound-
See peace descends-see war and anguish fly!
Let joy preside, and sorrow cease to sigh!
. . . [1 1/2 more columns]
"Dearly beloved brethren."
Joyful days at length have come!
Sound the trumpet, fife and drum.
Let the bagpipes squeak it briskly,
And the banjer strike up friskly! --
See! us Tories, all converted!
Since by George, our friends, deserted!
. . . [35 more lines, signed] A Tory
