 I. 
 
 Once I voyaged o'er the ocean, the great Atlantic Ocean, 
 To a good Canadian city on the Nova Scotian shore; 
 
 Like the surging of that ocean, there was a great commotion, 
 As the people came to greet me and. the lady I adore, 
 That rare and Royal Princess whom 1 always will adore 
 Every day, yet more and more. 
 
 II. 
 
 And then our " Royal jjarty," 'mid cheers loud, prolonged and hearty, 
 Rode through the decked-out city as we never did before, 
 
 'Mid the floating of the banners, and the waving of bandannas, 
 Till we came with the procession to the Province Building door, 
 Into which the multitude in a steady stream did pour, 
 One by one, yet more and more. 
 
 III. 
 
 In that Hall of Legislation, where we came with jin ovation. 
 Where the people like a living tide continued still to pour; 
 
 Byoathi and letters i)atent---of the great Canadian nation — 
 I stood, a Governor-General I— on the Province Building floor, 
 With the magnates all around me and before. 
 Was no room for any more. 
 
 IV. 
 
 Then the chima^of each steeple, and the cheering of the people, 
 Filled me with a keener pleasure than I ever felt before ; [me, 
 
 With my Princess there to cheer me, and her brother Duke was near 
 And the grand old solid citadel thundered more and more, 
 Volley a^ter volley, with brazen clang and roar, 
 I-Ialf a dozen times and more.

'I'licii \vc stepped into iIk' ( arria^c, as iipnii o ,;• li.tppN mar, uIl'a'. 
 
 PassL'<l thro' the liaiidsonie arches, read their wehoine w^.rds ill >.er.

 That ihe\ gave me just as manv as the arches that they reared 
 In this fair And famous city, (may it he so e\ermore !)

 Then came the day ol, parting, and \\'.[\\ ter.rs ot : adia.ss starting 
 from the e\es of my sweet Princess, we went op.w;u(l to e\])iure, 
 
 .Ml the new scenes o|jening o'er us, with a cheering, rmging chorus • 
 P'rom our dear and fo\al people, and the deafening cannon's loar ; 
 And a\\a\ we llew like lightning "roaiul t'le Unely Pedlord sii,>re,

 l-'rom Newcastle to Rimouski. from KiihiiK.nid on to (iore ; 
 
 The arcii bowed tlat in Amherst, to do us greater homage 
 Than any town or city had shown us heretofore ; 
 Then we came to iVIontreal, as was all arranged befoe, 
 And our journey, thus far, o'er.

 Now I really do believe thai these people could not live, 
 
 Did I not keep up the [jrogramnie since November twenty-four. 
 
 Unless an unusual number of adtlresses I receive, 
 I know that there will be a great outcry and uproar : 
 But, here an inundation is beginning now to pour 
 I shall faint \- shut that door I

 Oh, how this way distresses, of bestowing their < aresses, 
 I cannot help from voting all a nuisance and a bore ; 
 
 My very name a mark is, (Manpiis) a target for addresses. 
 Addresses on addresses, by the dozen and the score ; 
 Before I came to Ottawa, I fifty had and more ;- 
 Will it be so evermore ? 
 
 XVII. 
 
 I have them all before me, English, French, both plain and ornees^ 
 In j)oetry and prose, and I'll try to count them o'er ; 
 
 I'll stack up my addresses, in my Secretary's presses, / 
 
 And I fear they will extend from the ceiling to the floor ; 
 Guess how many I have now ? Exactly five and four score ; 
 Only these, and nothing more.

 XVIII. 
 
 Some day I'll cross the ocean, the great Atlantic Ocean, 
 
 To see my Queen and Empress, and the great McCallum Mor^ ; 
 
 Resigning my commission, stepping from my high j)osition ; 
 If they say, "Go to Canada, as once you went before. 
 Keep your administraHon, you'll be received with acclamation, " 
 I will answer, "NEVERMORE!!!"
