Chapter XXV

Six of the tallest men that e'er
Raised in old Kentucky were,
Each standing on the other's head,
Had scarce o'ertopped the monster dread;
The brim of his hat, so considerate,
Was half as big round as the King's Round Table;
His massive club was a maple's trunk:-
He might have made great Arthur "funk."

{053}

Arthur the First, or Arthur the Second,
As Arthur oe Wellington may be reckoned.
Slockdollagos was rather less,
But he was n't very short, I guess:--
He was fashionably drest,
In the style of a Wizard of the West.
