+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.
+
+[Illustration: 0010]
+
+|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!"
+
+[Illustration: 0011]
+
+|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.
+
+[Illustration: 0012]
+
+|There was once a young giant asleep, and round him two serpents did creep;
+
+```But he stopped their vile breath, and squeezed them to death,
+
+````This giant aroused from his sleep.
+
+
+[Illustration: 0013]
+
+|There once was a Copperhead vile, who attempted to damage a
+
+```So he tried it in truth, but soon broke every tooth
+
+````On that rusty and crusty Old File.
+
+[Illustration: 0014]
+
+"_Nor doth this Wood lack Worlds."--Midsummer Night's Dream, II. 2._
+
+|There was an old Snake in New York said for peace all the people should work;
+
+``"But if war _must_ come, let us fight here _at home!!_"
+
+```Quoth sanguiloquent Ben of New York.
+
+[Illustration: 0015]
+
+_"One of those who worship dirty gods."--Cymbeline, III. 8._
+
+|There once was a chap named Vallandigham, whom the Copperheads chose for commanding 'em;
+
+```But a trip to the South soon silenced his mouth,
+
+````And the world as a _Tory_ is branding him.
+
+[Illustration: 0016]
+
+|With War Democrats Seymour's for war; with Peace cowards for peace he'll hurrah;
+
+```Let him get in the way of the mower some day,
+
+````And He'll find there's no quibbling with war.
+
+[Illustration: 0017]
+
+|The Copperhead lotterie hath a curious policie;
+
+``For a man of low rank can draw naught save a blank,
+
+````Unless an accomplice he be.
+
+[Illustration: 0018]
+
+|There once was a twistified Reed who took for his pattern Snake-Weed;
+
+```Till the Copperheads all, great, middling, and small
+
+````Seemed _straight_ by the side of this Reed.
+
+[Illustration: 0019]
+
+|There's a character very well known, Who bubbles for ages has blown;
+
+```But the best he has made since at _bubbling_ he played,
+
+````From a Copperhead pipe have been thrown.
+
+[Illustration: 0020]
+
+````_"And what Stock he springs of!!"--Coriolan, II. 3._
+
+|Copper stocks are uncertain to buy, though this Copperhead's stock's very high;
+
+```But we still might improve this stock of his love,
+
+````By adding the _right_ sort of tie.
+
+[Illustration: 0021]
+
+|There was an old War Horse, a clerical, who thought our Republic chimerical;
+
+```"For the Union," he said, "he never had prayed,"
+
+````This mordacious old War Horse cholerical.
+
+[Illustration: 0022]
+
+```_" There is no goodness in the worm,"--Antony and Cleopatra, V. 2._
+
+|The abominable Copperhead worms! With their wriggles, and twists, and their squirms!
+
+```But the gardener, they say, will soon find out a way
+
+````To kill the vile Copperhead worms.
+
+[Illustration: 0023]
+
+```_"There are many complaints, Davy, about that."--King Henry IV., V. 1._
+
+|There was a Stern Statesman astute, who so often went in to _recruit_,
+
+```That a Rattlesnake fat revolved in his hat,
+
+````While a Copperhead squirmed in his boot.
+
+[Illustration: 0024]
+
+```_"So much dishonor my fair stars."--King Richard 111., IV. 1._
+
+|The traitor our Common Cents mars, And on Liberty plainly he wars,
+
+```Taking Freedom away from the Union, I say,
+
+````When he cuts out her head from the stars.
+
+[Illustration: 0025]
+
+_"And so the lion vanished."--Midsummer Night's Dream, V. 1._
+
+|While it did us great harm, Abolition was the height of the Lion's ambition;
+
+```Now with Copperhead _tale_ he stings himself pale.
+
+````And furaciously scorns Abolition.
+
+[Illustration: 0026]
+
+```_"Will this Wood take fire?"--Merry Wives of Windsor, V. 5._
+
+|Union, a fagot we take; But 'twould be a tremendous mistake,
+
+```To use rotten old Wood which never was good,
+
+````And then bind it up with a Snake.
+
+[Illustration: 0027]
+
+|There once was a Patriot whose rigor reached such a remarkable figure,
+
+```That he'd rather go down in the water and drown
+
+````Than be saved by the help of a nigger.
+
+[Illustration: 0028]
+
+|There once were some rascals near Reading thought fighting was easy as wedding;
+
+```But being well kicked, and most terribly licked,
+
+````They mournfully mizzled from Reading.
+
+[Illustration: 0029]
+
+_"O wicked Wall!"--Midsummer Night's Dream, V. 1._
+
+|There once was an old _party_-Wall, quite _cracked_ and just ready to fall;
+
+```The Copperheads came and completed its shame
+
+````By sticking their Bills on this Wall.
+
+[Illustration: 0030]
+
+|There once was a bottle of Porter, which the Copperheads thought was all water;
+
+```But when the cork popped, the Copperheads dropped,
+
+````And were stunned by the _vim_ of the Porter!
+
+[Illustration: 0031]
+
+|There once was a Snake who said "Hey! There's an Eagle I'll take for my prey!"
+
+```But the bird with his bill did the Copperhead kill,
+
+````And bore him in triumph away.
+
+[Illustration: 0032]
+
+```_"Exit shall be strangling a snake."--Love's Labor's Lost, V. 1._
+
+|The Copperhead traitors all, our army "base hirelings" call
+
+```But some fine summer day The "boys," just for play,
+
+````Will settle the Copperheads all.
+
+Amen!
+
+
+
+
+GOTHAM-MITES.
+
+
+|I like such Brooks," said Falstaff once;
+
+``Had he meant _ours_ he'd been a dunce;
+
+`The devil, whom all things evil please,
+
+``Could never stand such Bruoks as these.=
+
+
+
+`In the Tyrol on mountain high
+
+``"The Devil's Marble" you may spy;
+
+`And if in the World you long remain,
+
+``You'll probably meet the same again.=
+
+
+
+`Och, Johnny, my gun--let the truth be aid,
+
+``What the divil made _ye_ turn Copperhid?
+
+`Sure it was hivvy what ye bore,
+
+``Wid the brass in your face yees had before.=
+
+
+
+`There's a song how Old Nick took a journey,
+
+``With a corporation attorney;
+
+`But there is one _fouler_, whom even the old prowler
+
+``Would fear as a friend on a journey.=
+
+
+
+1.
+
+`"The man who made that order," said
+
+``Judge B. in court, "was a _meat-head_."
+
+`Oh what a head that head would be,
+
+``Just _meted_ Judge, to match with thee!=
+
+
+
+2.
+
+`"Just roll that nigger out of court!"
+
+``The Judge exclaimed with solemn port;
+
+`"I tell you very truly now,
+
+``Nigs _at the bar_ I won't allow!"=
+
+
+
+`At a Copperhead meeting the crier
+
+``Paused an instant to hear his gun fire;
+
+`The cannon was loaded, and when it exploded,
+
+``Said he--"List to the voice of our sire!"=
+
+
+
+``There was old party named M------,
+
+``Who went from bad doctrines to worse.
+
+`If at law he should see his name prefaced by _re,_
+
+``It will show what he _should_ feel; this M------.=
+
+
+
+```There was a small Cozening shyster;
+
+``Said he, "Every case is an _eyester;_
+
+`Give the parties the shells if you can, and nought else,
+
+``Unless the Court tips you a hi-ster."=
+
+
+
+``There's a man at the _Bar_ who, we know,
+
+``Is in politics terribly _low_;
+
+`For he keeps in the clubs the secessional cubs,
+
+``Who in _propria persona_ can't go.=
+
+
+
+``There's a very bad-minis-trator,
+
+``A_ très petite pomme de tater_,
+
+`Who tears feelings to rags, presenting of flags;
+
+``This oily old adminis-_traitor_.=
+
+
+
+``There's a wide-awake Copperhead cratur',
+
+``Who is Eli by name and by natur';
+
+`Displaying for one neither fashion _nor ton_,
+
+``This un-national nativist traitor.=
+
+
+
+
+CHECKER-BOARDERS AND KEYSTONERS
+
+
+|There was an old person, J. B.,
+
+``An old Public Func-tion-arie; [agreed,
+
+`When they swore, "We'll secede!" he just smiled, "I'm
+
+``"You've a sure friend, you know, in J. B.=
+
+
+
+``There was a smart lawyer named W------
+
+``Who from Union men made quite a fortun';
+
+`But his wealth he despised, with Secesh fraternized,
+
+``This apo-state-olical W------.=
+
+
+
+``There was a twistortulous Heed,
+
+``Who hoped that Secesh might succeed;
+
+`For he said, "It's my natur' to act like a traitor,
+
+``Since it runs in the joints of a Heed."=
+
+
+
+``There once was a Copperhead Diddle,
+
+``Who played to the Heed second fiddle;
+
+`When they said, "It is small!" it replied, not at all,
+
+`Says he, "I ain't dead--as a live Copperhead
+
+``I'm a squirmulous vermiform Wriggler."=
+
+
+
+``There was an old servant called Peter,
+
+``So moody in humor and feature
+
+`Because the good people from the church with a steeple
+
+``Expelled this old saturnine Peter.=
+
+
+
+``There was a sharp lawyer, one P-,
+
+``Whose thoughts never got through his still lips;
+
+`And all he would say was "ah!" "h'm!" "oh!" and "ay
+
+``This pauciloquent person named P-.=
+
+
+
+``There was a neat sarpent--a Coiler--
+
+``True son of the ancient Beguiler;
+
+`Who told such a whopper, he burst out his copper,
+
+``And frightfully fractured his biler.=
+
+
+
+`It's a full-blooded Copperhead Diddle!"=

+`To make him worthy whose offence subdues him,
+
+`And curse that justice did it. Who deserves greatness
+
+`Deserves your hate; and your affections are
+
+`A sick man's appetite, who desires most that

+
+`way we know how--also, that they, on their side, are now
+
+`about ripe to aid us in the only way we could accept their
+
+`aid. If our troops should this summer appear within their
+
+`borders anywhere between Cairo and Philadelphia, they would
+
+`be hailed as friends by a population pretty well cured now of
+
+`_Pluribus Unum_. Their cry would be, not Union, but deli-
+
+`verance. _Wait then, and watch, and keep your lights burning,

+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.
+
+[Illustration: 0010]
+
+|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!"
+
+[Illustration: 0011]
+
+|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.
+
+[Illustration: 0012]
+
+|There was once a young giant asleep, and round him two serpents did creep;
+
+```But he stopped their vile breath, and squeezed them to death,
+
+````This giant aroused from his sleep.
+
+
+[Illustration: 0013]
+
+|There once was a Copperhead vile, who attempted to damage a
+
+```So he tried it in truth, but soon broke every tooth
+
+````On that rusty and crusty Old File.
+
+[Illustration: 0014]
+
+"_Nor doth this Wood lack Worlds."--Midsummer Night's Dream, II. 2._
+
+|There was an old Snake in New York said for peace all the people should work;
+
+``"But if war _must_ come, let us fight here _at home!!_"
+
+```Quoth sanguiloquent Ben of New York.
+
+[Illustration: 0015]
+
+_"One of those who worship dirty gods."--Cymbeline, III. 8._
+
+|There once was a chap named Vallandigham, whom the Copperheads chose for commanding 'em;
+
+```But a trip to the South soon silenced his mouth,
+
+````And the world as a _Tory_ is branding him.
+
+[Illustration: 0016]
+
+|With War Democrats Seymour's for war; with Peace cowards for peace he'll hurrah;
+
+```Let him get in the way of the mower some day,
+
+````And He'll find there's no quibbling with war.
+
+[Illustration: 0017]
+
+|The Copperhead lotterie hath a curious policie;
+
+``For a man of low rank can draw naught save a blank,
+
+````Unless an accomplice he be.
+
+[Illustration: 0018]
+
+|There once was a twistified Reed who took for his pattern Snake-Weed;
+
+```Till the Copperheads all, great, middling, and small
+
+````Seemed _straight_ by the side of this Reed.
+
+[Illustration: 0019]
+
+|There's a character very well known, Who bubbles for ages has blown;
+
+```But the best he has made since at _bubbling_ he played,
+
+````From a Copperhead pipe have been thrown.
+
+[Illustration: 0020]
+
+````_"And what Stock he springs of!!"--Coriolan, II. 3._
+
+|Copper stocks are uncertain to buy, though this Copperhead's stock's very high;
+
+```But we still might improve this stock of his love,
+
+````By adding the _right_ sort of tie.
+
+[Illustration: 0021]
+
+|There was an old War Horse, a clerical, who thought our Republic chimerical;
+
+```"For the Union," he said, "he never had prayed,"
+
+````This mordacious old War Horse cholerical.
+
+[Illustration: 0022]
+
+```_" There is no goodness in the worm,"--Antony and Cleopatra, V. 2._
+
+|The abominable Copperhead worms! With their wriggles, and twists, and their squirms!
+
+```But the gardener, they say, will soon find out a way
+
+````To kill the vile Copperhead worms.
+
+[Illustration: 0023]
+
+```_"There are many complaints, Davy, about that."--King Henry IV., V. 1._
+
+|There was a Stern Statesman astute, who so often went in to _recruit_,
+
+```That a Rattlesnake fat revolved in his hat,
+
+````While a Copperhead squirmed in his boot.
+
+[Illustration: 0024]
+
+```_"So much dishonor my fair stars."--King Richard 111., IV. 1._
+
+|The traitor our Common Cents mars, And on Liberty plainly he wars,
+
+```Taking Freedom away from the Union, I say,
+
+````When he cuts out her head from the stars.
+
+[Illustration: 0025]
+
+_"And so the lion vanished."--Midsummer Night's Dream, V. 1._

+
+```Now with Copperhead _tale_ he stings himself pale.
+
+````And furaciously scorns Abolition.

+```_"Will this Wood take fire?"--Merry Wives of Windsor, V. 5._

+|Union, a fagot we take; But 'twould be a tremendous mistake,

+|There once was a Patriot whose rigor reached such a remarkable figure,
+
+```That he'd rather go down in the water and drown
+
+````Than be saved by the help of a nigger.

+
+|There once were some rascals near Reading thought fighting was easy as wedding;
+
+```But being well kicked, and most terribly licked,
+

+
+_"O wicked Wall!"--Midsummer Night's Dream, V. 1._
+
+|There once was an old _party_-Wall, quite _cracked_ and just ready to fall;
+
+```The Copperheads came and completed its shame
+
+````By sticking their Bills on this Wall.
+
+[Illustration: 0030]
+
+|There once was a bottle of Porter, which the Copperheads thought was all water;
+
+```But when the cork popped, the Copperheads dropped,
+
+````And were stunned by the _vim_ of the Porter!
+
+[Illustration: 0031]
+
+|There once was a Snake who said "Hey! There's an Eagle I'll take for my prey!"
+
+```But the bird with his bill did the Copperhead kill,
+
+````And bore him in triumph away.
+
+[Illustration: 0032]
+
+```_"Exit shall be strangling a snake."--Love's Labor's Lost, V. 1._
+

+
+````Will settle the Copperheads all.

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from

+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm

+(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.

+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
+paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

+1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works

+ Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments
+ must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+ prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+ returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and

+ you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+ does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+ License. You must require such a user to return or
+ destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+ and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+ Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a

+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent

+ Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+ Chief Executive and Director
+ gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+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.
+
+[Illustration: 0010]
+
+|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!"
+
+[Illustration: 0011]
+
+|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.
+
+[Illustration: 0012]
+
+|There was once a young giant asleep, and round him two serpents did creep;
+
+```But he stopped their vile breath, and squeezed them to death,
+
+````This giant aroused from his sleep.
+
+
+[Illustration: 0013]
+
+|There once was a Copperhead vile, who attempted to damage a
+
+```So he tried it in truth, but soon broke every tooth
+
+````On that rusty and crusty Old File.
+
+[Illustration: 0014]
+
+"_Nor doth this Wood lack Worlds."--Midsummer Night's Dream, II. 2._
+
+|There was an old Snake in New York said for peace all the people should work;
+
+``"But if war _must_ come, let us fight here _at home!!_"
+
+```Quoth sanguiloquent Ben of New York.
+
+[Illustration: 0015]
+
+_"One of those who worship dirty gods."--Cymbeline, III. 8._
+
+|There once was a chap named Vallandigham, whom the Copperheads chose for commanding 'em;
+
+```But a trip to the South soon silenced his mouth,
+
+````And the world as a _Tory_ is branding him.
+
+[Illustration: 0016]
+
+|With War Democrats Seymour's for war; with Peace cowards for peace he'll hurrah;
+
+```Let him get in the way of the mower some day,
+
+````And He'll find there's no quibbling with war.
+
+[Illustration: 0017]
+
+|The Copperhead lotterie hath a curious policie;
+
+``For a man of low rank can draw naught save a blank,
+
+````Unless an accomplice he be.
+
+[Illustration: 0018]
+
+|There once was a twistified Reed who took for his pattern Snake-Weed;
+
+```Till the Copperheads all, great, middling, and small
+
+````Seemed _straight_ by the side of this Reed.
+
+[Illustration: 0019]
+
+|There's a character very well known, Who bubbles for ages has blown;
+
+```But the best he has made since at _bubbling_ he played,
+
+````From a Copperhead pipe have been thrown.
+
+[Illustration: 0020]
+
+````_"And what Stock he springs of!!"--Coriolan, II. 3._
+
+|Copper stocks are uncertain to buy, though this Copperhead's stock's very high;
+
+```But we still might improve this stock of his love,
+
+````By adding the _right_ sort of tie.
+
+[Illustration: 0021]
+
+|There was an old War Horse, a clerical, who thought our Republic chimerical;
+
+```"For the Union," he said, "he never had prayed,"
+
+````This mordacious old War Horse cholerical.
+
+[Illustration: 0022]
+
+```_" There is no goodness in the worm,"--Antony and Cleopatra, V. 2._
+
+|The abominable Copperhead worms! With their wriggles, and twists, and their squirms!
+
+```But the gardener, they say, will soon find out a way
+
+````To kill the vile Copperhead worms.
+
+[Illustration: 0023]
+
+```_"There are many complaints, Davy, about that."--King Henry IV., V. 1._
+
+|There was a Stern Statesman astute, who so often went in to _recruit_,
+
+```That a Rattlesnake fat revolved in his hat,
+
+````While a Copperhead squirmed in his boot.
+
+[Illustration: 0024]
+
+```_"So much dishonor my fair stars."--King Richard 111., IV. 1._
+
+|The traitor our Common Cents mars, And on Liberty plainly he wars,
+
+```Taking Freedom away from the Union, I say,
+
+````When he cuts out her head from the stars.
+
+[Illustration: 0025]
+
+_"And so the lion vanished."--Midsummer Night's Dream, V. 1._
+
+|While it did us great harm, Abolition was the height of the Lion's ambition;
+
+```Now with Copperhead _tale_ he stings himself pale.
+
+````And furaciously scorns Abolition.
+
+[Illustration: 0026]
+
+```_"Will this Wood take fire?"--Merry Wives of Windsor, V. 5._
+
+|Union, a fagot we take; But 'twould be a tremendous mistake,
+
+```To use rotten old Wood which never was good,
+
+````And then bind it up with a Snake.
+
+[Illustration: 0027]
+
+|There once was a Patriot whose rigor reached such a remarkable figure,
+
+```That he'd rather go down in the water and drown
+
+````Than be saved by the help of a nigger.
+
+[Illustration: 0028]
+
+|There once were some rascals near Reading thought fighting was easy as wedding;
+
+```But being well kicked, and most terribly licked,
+
+````They mournfully mizzled from Reading.
+
+[Illustration: 0029]
+
+_"O wicked Wall!"--Midsummer Night's Dream, V. 1._
+
+|There once was an old _party_-Wall, quite _cracked_ and just ready to fall;
+
+```The Copperheads came and completed its shame
+
+````By sticking their Bills on this Wall.
+
+[Illustration: 0030]
+
+|There once was a bottle of Porter, which the Copperheads thought was all water;
+
+```But when the cork popped, the Copperheads dropped,
+
+````And were stunned by the _vim_ of the Porter!
+
+[Illustration: 0031]
+
+|There once was a Snake who said "Hey! There's an Eagle I'll take for my prey!"
+
+```But the bird with his bill did the Copperhead kill,
+
+````And bore him in triumph away.
+
+[Illustration: 0032]
+
+```_"Exit shall be strangling a snake."--Love's Labor's Lost, V. 1._
+
+|The Copperhead traitors all, our army "base hirelings" call
+
+```But some fine summer day The "boys," just for play,
+
+````Will settle the Copperheads all.
+
+Amen!
+
+
+
+
+GOTHAM-MITES.
+
+
+|I like such Brooks," said Falstaff once;
+
+``Had he meant _ours_ he'd been a dunce;
+
+`The devil, whom all things evil please,
+
+``Could never stand such Bruoks as these.=
+
+
+
+`In the Tyrol on mountain high
+
+``"The Devil's Marble" you may spy;
+
+`And if in the World you long remain,
+
+``You'll probably meet the same again.=
+
+
+
+`Och, Johnny, my gun--let the truth be aid,
+
+``What the divil made _ye_ turn Copperhid?
+
+`Sure it was hivvy what ye bore,
+
+``Wid the brass in your face yees had before.=
+
+
+
+`There's a song how Old Nick took a journey,
+
+``With a corporation attorney;
+
+`But there is one _fouler_, whom even the old prowler
+
+``Would fear as a friend on a journey.=
+
+
+
+1.
+
+`"The man who made that order," said
+
+``Judge B. in court, "was a _meat-head_."
+
+`Oh what a head that head would be,
+
+``Just _meted_ Judge, to match with thee!=
+
+
+
+2.
+
+`"Just roll that nigger out of court!"
+
+``The Judge exclaimed with solemn port;
+
+`"I tell you very truly now,
+
+``Nigs _at the bar_ I won't allow!"=
+
+
+
+`At a Copperhead meeting the crier
+
+``Paused an instant to hear his gun fire;
+
+`The cannon was loaded, and when it exploded,
+
+``Said he--"List to the voice of our sire!"=
+
+
+
+``There was old party named M------,
+
+``Who went from bad doctrines to worse.
+
+`If at law he should see his name prefaced by _re,_
+
+``It will show what he _should_ feel; this M------.=
+
+
+
+```There was a small Cozening shyster;
+
+``Said he, "Every case is an _eyester;_
+
+`Give the parties the shells if you can, and nought else,
+
+``Unless the Court tips you a hi-ster."=
+
+
+
+``There's a man at the _Bar_ who, we know,
+
+``Is in politics terribly _low_;
+
+`For he keeps in the clubs the secessional cubs,
+
+``Who in _propria persona_ can't go.=
+
+
+
+``There's a very bad-minis-trator,
+
+``A_ tres petite pomme de tater_,
+
+`Who tears feelings to rags, presenting of flags;
+
+``This oily old adminis-_traitor_.=
+
+
+
+``There's a wide-awake Copperhead cratur',
+
+``Who is Eli by name and by natur';
+
+`Displaying for one neither fashion _nor ton_,
+
+``This un-national nativist traitor.=
+
+
+
+
+CHECKER-BOARDERS AND KEYSTONERS
+
+
+|There was an old person, J. B.,
+
+``An old Public Func-tion-arie; [agreed,
+
+`When they swore, "We'll secede!" he just smiled, "I'm
+
+``"You've a sure friend, you know, in J. B.=
+
+
+
+``There was a smart lawyer named W------
+
+``Who from Union men made quite a fortun';
+
+`But his wealth he despised, with Secesh fraternized,
+
+``This apo-state-olical W------.=
+
+
+
+``There was a twistortulous Heed,
+
+``Who hoped that Secesh might succeed;
+
+`For he said, "It's my natur' to act like a traitor,
+
+``Since it runs in the joints of a Heed."=
+
+
+
+``There once was a Copperhead Diddle,
+
+``Who played to the Heed second fiddle;
+
+`When they said, "It is small!" it replied, not at all,
+
+`Says he, "I ain't dead--as a live Copperhead
+
+``I'm a squirmulous vermiform Wriggler."=
+
+
+
+``There was an old servant called Peter,
+
+``So moody in humor and feature
+
+`Because the good people from the church with a steeple
+
+``Expelled this old saturnine Peter.=
+
+
+
+``There was a sharp lawyer, one P-,
+
+``Whose thoughts never got through his still lips;
+
+`And all he would say was "ah!" "h'm!" "oh!" and "ay
+
+``This pauciloquent person named P-.=
+
+
+
+``There was a neat sarpent--a Coiler--
+
+``True son of the ancient Beguiler;
+
+`Who told such a whopper, he burst out his copper,
+
+``And frightfully fractured his biler.=
+
+
+
+`It's a full-blooded Copperhead Diddle!"=
+
+
+`There was an ex-governing Wiggler,
+
+`A political huckster and higgler;
+
+``Quoth "Aristocracy"
+
+``To Fourth Ward "Vulgarity,"
+
+`"You are dregs, I am froth; and our interests both
+
+``Are opposed to this working, d'ye see!"=
+
+
+
+
+MODERN HEATHEN-IANS
+
+
+``There was an ex-editor, L------,
+
+``Who rowed in the _Courier_ punt,
+
+`But to twist around more, he jumped out on the shore,
+
+``That contortious poetical L------.=
+
+
+
+``Oh G------ T------ C------ was one
+
+``Who thought himself quite a great gun;
+
+`So Treason he shouted, "Constitution" he spouted,
+
+``But Boston grew hot for such "Union Men"--so
+
+``He herds in New York with Fernando & Co.=
+
+
+
+``To the cause of his country adverse,
+
+``Is the man whom all honest men curse.
+
+`Do you ask what's his name? oh, ne'er believe Fame,
+
+``If it be not Ex-President Pierce.=
+
+
+
+``In Eighteen Hundred and Fifty-Six,
+
+``A poet, disgusted with Pierce's tricks,
+
+``Said that he down to the dust should go,
+
+``To grovel there in infamy low.
+
+``And in Eighteen Hundred and Sixty-Three,
+
+``The prophecy came to pass, I see,
+
+``Since in the dust and on the ground,
+
+``As a Copperhead Pierce goes squirming round".=
+
+
+
+``What a pity that Joshua D.
+
+``A good Insolvency lawyer should be,

+
+``Gamblers, Wood-ites, thieves, and asses,

+``Pettifoggers malign, but weak,

+SHAKSPEARE ON THE COPPERHEADS.
+
+
+```"What would you have, you curs,
+
+`That like nor peace nor war? The one affrights you,
+
+`The other makes you proud. He that trusts to you,
+
+`Where he should find you lions, finds you hares;
+
+`Where foxes, geese; you are no surer, no,
+
+`Than is the coal of fire upon the ice,
+
+`Or hailstone in the sun. Your virtue is,
+
+`To make him worthy whose offence subdues him,
+
+`And curse that justice did it. Who deserves greatness
+
+`Deserves your hate; and your affections are
+
+`A sick man's appetite, who desires most that
+
+`Which would increase his evil. He that depends
+
+`Upon your favors swims with fins of lead,
+
+`And hews down oaks with rushes."--_Coriolanus, I. 1._
+
+
+
+
+"THOSE DEVOTED COPPERHEADS."
+
+
+`"Our sympathies are all confined at home; yet it is just
+
+`possible we may help those devoted Copperheads in the only
+
+`way we know how--also, that they, on their side, are now
+
+`about ripe to aid us in the only way we could accept their
+
+`aid. If our troops should this summer appear within their
+
+`borders anywhere between Cairo and Philadelphia, they would
+
+`be hailed as friends by a population pretty well cured now of
+
+`_Pluribus Unum_. Their cry would be, not Union, but deli-
+
+`verance. _Wait then, and watch, and keep your lights burning,
+
+`ye Knights of the Golden Circle!"--Richmond Enquirer_, 18th
+
+`May, 1863.

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
