There lived a man between two bills,
snakes and snipes and whip-poor-
wills,
Down in a valley, hills all
Who never went to church or town.
Was quite unlearned, was rough and
rode,
Content to work for his clothes and food
He made his bread and raised his
And what he raised the same he ale.
He bought no oil to give him light,
But went to bed as soon as night.
And his it Oh how
To work, to cat. and then to rest.
What need had he for science or art.
While with their slaves so tar apart
Why should he quit his blessed peace,
On which, for life, he held a lease
Or why. in Arctic region freeze,
And loose such comforts as were
Why should be make the task his own.
To count the stars, or weigh the moon
Who would not rather the held.
And eat the fruit which it will yield.
Than try lo analyze the sun
Which would not feed him, though
done.
The land was his, he payed no rents,
And seldom went fence.
But staged at home, and so much so
His neighbors culled
He ale, he rested and he ought.
Ami hail no cause to fear the gout.
Oh thrice Joe. from re-

And thought he knew what lie did not.

Thus Valley fervent will,
Starts on a journey up the hill,
To vies; the world in which he lives
And drink the sweets which

Is often struck with change of scenes.
And puzzled how to cross ravines.
From thing to thing his drifts.
From spring, to rocky cliffs
Still o'er the and down steeps,
lie climbs up here, then down he leaps.
Still pressing on earliest tread
To gain the hill-top high o'er head
Until, with weary feet mid eyes.
He stops and looks in great surprise
Half admiration, half in fright,
lie sees the bill-lop clothed ill white,
Twas something new to Valley Joe,
To see this mountain capped with snow.
However much he found to please,

At last he said.

The rugged place is scaled at but.
Then to village straight he goes,
To sup. and give his limbs

For Valley Joe. but these he bore.
They all in one would not compare
With climbing up that winding stair
He ne'er became a man of fame
To stately honors made no claim.
