THE FOLLY OF BROWN.

KNEW a boor—a clownish card, &emsp;(His only friends were pigs and cows and The poultry of a small farmyard)
 * Who came into two hundred thousand.

Good fortune worked no change in ,
 * Though she's a mighty social chymist;

He was a clown—and by a clown
 * I do not mean a pantomimist.
