From Gotham's wisdom-emitten shore,
To search where iles of grease outpour,
A stranger bore aloft a ra,
Oa which appeared the oily gag
Fe-tru-le-uial
His brow was sad : bis eye beneath,
Flashed like a coal-lamp on the heath ; '
And like a gong, each braien lung
Eang out the oleagnious tongue
Fe-ro-le-um !
As in a dream, he saw the light
Of oil in every vale and height ;
And far beyond the boreal pole,
The 6tars were lit with benezole
Fe-tro-le-um !
"That claim is mine !" a man did roar ;
" Tis grratf, but living greate & more !"
While o'er the carboniferous tide,
Was heard the echo, "let her slide!"
Fe -tro-le-um !
The prospect deepens ; on, ye brave,
Who seek an oleaginous grave 1
Feed fat your grudge with oily ore,
That augurs well for such a bore

"Oh, stay V dame Fortune sweetly cried ; -"Illuminate

The oil-drops welled from her bright eye.

Beware of calcined, f unguis stocks 1

That caught the salamander, heard
A vicious sound far up the air,
Unlike the word we use in prayer

The stranger by the scent around
flad"run the thing inte the ground P
And graping still the Uttered rag,
He still belched forth the oily gag

Without a lamp;to cheer his way,
He struggled on through shards and shale,
With the same oleaginous wail
