[4 lines of text introducing a poem composed by the Tuesday
Club of Annapolis "bewailing the the present lamentable
indisposition of their worthy president"]
LUGUBRIS CANTUS.
In imitation of Spencer, author of the Fairy Queen.
[1st verse of 8 lines]
The deputy, with phyz demure and sad,
And groans repeated, eyed the members round;
The champion lost his courage fierce and drad,
And the musician his melodious sound.
. . . [4 more lines, 4 more verses of 8 lines each]
