But now I'll shew you sunthin' in this town, that's as false as parjury, sunthin that's a disgrace to this country and an insult to our great nation, and there is no jeest in it nother, but a downright lie; and, since you go for to throw up to me our naval button with its 'eagle and anchor,' I'll point out to you sunthin' a hundred thousand million times wus.

What was the name o' that English admiral folks made such a touss about; that cripple-gaited, one-eyed, one-armed little naval critter ?" "Do you mean Lord Nelson ?" "I do," said he, and pointing to his monument, he continued, "There he is as big as life, five feet nothin', with his shoes on.

Now examine that monument, and tell me if the English don't know how to brag, as well as some other folks, and whether they don't brag too sumtimes, when they hante got no right to.

There is four figures there a representing the four quarters of the globe in chains, and among them America, a crouchin' down, and a-beggin' for life, like a mean heathen Ingin.

Well, jist do the civil now, and tell me when that little braggin' feller ever whipped us, will you?
Just tell me the day of the year he was ever able to do it, since his mammy cut the apron string and let him run to seek his fortin'.
