With nothing of her former state But sticks and mortar!
No diplomatic notes were passed Twixt her and HoUins, but a blast Woke up her people, and aghast Digitized by Google THE FALL OF GREYTOWN. 83 They saw the fated sloop!
That had come swift as sail and steam Could bring her, just to show, 'twould seem, How shells can make ragamuffins scream Enough, and so, 'mid hiss and gleam Of bombshells, Greytown kicked the beam, And gave expiring whoop!
MORAL.
Her ruins long will there uplift Their ridge...s low, and dirty drift Forever robe her!
A nation that is poor and weak.
Should always unto strong ones speak Politely, and beware the "cheek," That dares a Roman nose to tweak.
Or drunk or sober!
Note. — San Juan de Nicaragua, alias Greytown, was bom- barded and burned, in 1854, by a United States vessel-of-war, under the command of Captain Hollins, because of some affront given by its people to a member of the Transit Company.
