YE BOOK OF COPPERHEADS
" Continue this united League."—Richard the Third, III. 1.
|There once was a Copperhead snake tried to Bite Uncle Sam by mistake;
But the Seven League Boot on old Uncle Sam's foot
Soon crushed this pestiferous snake.
Original
A soldier came back from the war, with many an honorable scar;
But the Copperheads cried, "Served you right if you'd died
In this curst Abolitionist war!"
Original
The old Tory dragon is dead, but she left us some eggs in her stead;
Two were smashed in the yolk, but the third hatched and broke,
And out came a vile Copperhead.
