The King Of The Cannibal Islands

[Tune, " '■falbrouk."] The King of the Cannibiü Inlands Declded to conqnor Rome dry landa, Ho Iig marchad over valleys and hihlands With twenty-four cnnnibal bravee ; With two dozon xpan-c&tiiLg tnaves, All hungry as ho many ktb Ho Bkinuiahod througheürthïands and Bkylands, Deiiant of veathcr and wavea. He came to Atlantis the Koly,' Whose people were Uznb-lfke and lowly, Thoiijjh growing a touch roly-poly And Ianguid in fasting and prayers ; They fasted wnüe Bloeping, like bears, And prayed in their Vanity Fftlw, And wulked in the narrow way Blowly, Mudi exinibcrod wiüi Beelzebub's vares. Then foilowed a wonderful battle ; Good lack ! how tho woaponH did rattle ! The women, the chüdreu, tlie cattle Took part in the desperate strife ; lèliey carried the war to the knifo ; "With slaughter AtlanliH Wftfl rife; About it the Musea WÜ1 prattlo While Providence granteth them life. The GannibalH turned out the winners, They made twenty-üve hearty dinisers, Thoy gobliled tho nainta and the sinners And put all Atiautisto sacli ; They nwallowed hite, ycllow and black, The hungrieKl, greodiest pack Of robbiTB and pickers and akinnora That ever eent región to wrack. Henceforth they were chiefp of the nation, And lived by relief legislatiou ; They servod up a bilí for collation And fattenod a law like a beant; Their appotites daily incroased ; A hiiH-h vu fe patent, at least; WbUe railroads and Pteam navigation Scarce furnished the iointa for a fcaet.
