STEPHEN DOWLING BOTS.
157
Though sad hearts round him thickened,
'Twas not from sickness' shots.
No whooping-cough did rack his frame,
Nor measles drear, with spots:
Not these impaired the sacred name
Of Stephen Dowling Bots.
"THEY GOT HIM OUT AND EMPTIED HIM."
Despised love struck not with woe
That head of curly knots,
Nor stomach troubles laid him low,
Young Stephen Dowling Bots.
