AMERICAN ART:
Its Awful Altitude
A Satire.
American Artists, ah!
American Patrons, pshaw!!
American Cities, BAH!!
Old scores to settle,
And sores to heal,
I'll show my mettle,
And use my heel,
Rough-shod,
By G—d!
To friends departed,
The noble-hearted,
Alive or dead,
Who've cheered me often,
My words will soften
To love instead.
Written during the Third Year of the Great Rebellion, 1863-4,
By JOHN FRANKENSTEIN.
CINCINNATI, OHIO.
1864.
