Excerpt from Brand-New Ballads
It was in the Middle Ages - "bout the end of Sixty-eight,
So I found the hoary legend written on an ancient slate -
That one Ezry Jenks prospecting, when he reached this blooming spot,
Thus uplifted to his pardner: "Glory! Moses, let us squat!"
Thus rebounded Moses Adams: "Glory was the foremost word
Which in the untrammelled silence of this wilderness was heard,
And I arnswer, dimly feelin" like a prophet, grand and slow,
"Glory kinder sounds like Money - up to glory let her go!""
And this casual conversation in the year of Sixty-eight,
As if by an inspiration he recorded on a slate,
Which "t was said in later ages - six weeks after - used to hang
As a curiositary in the principal shebang.
On the spot that very evening they perceived a beauteous gleam
