THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN.

Despised love struck not with woe
That head of curly knots,
Nor stomach troubles laid him low,
Young Stephen Dowling Bots.

O no. Then list with tearful eye,
Whilst I his fate do tell.

By falling down a well.

Alas it was too late;
His spirit was gone for to sport aloft
In the realms of the good and great.
