Once I seen a human ruin
In an elevator-well,
And his members was bestrewin'
All the place where he had fell.
And I says, apostrophisin'
That uncommon woful wreck:
"Your position's so surprisin'
That I tremble for your neck!"
Then that ruin, smilin' sadly
And impressive, up and spoke:
"Well, I wouldn't tremble badly,
For it's been a fortnight broke."
Then, for further comprehension
Of his attitude, he begs
I will focus my attention
On his various arms and legs --
How they all are contumacious;
Where they each, respective, lie;
How one trotter proves ungracious,
T'other one an _alibi_.
These particulars is mentioned
For to show his dismal state,
Which I wasn't first intentioned
To specifical relate.
None is worser to be dreaded
That I ever have heard tell
Than the gent's who there was spreaded
In that elevator-well.
Now this tale is allegoric --
It is figurative all,
For the well is metaphoric
And the feller didn't fall.
I opine it isn't moral
For a writer-man to cheat,
And despise to wear a laurel
As was gotten by deceit.
For 'tis Politics intended
By the elevator, mind,
It will boost a person splendid
If his talent is the kind.
Col. Bryan had the talent
(For the busted man is him)
And it shot him up right gallant
Till his head begun to swim.
Then the rope it broke above him
And he painful come to earth
Where there's nobody to love him
For his detrimented worth.
Though he's livin' none would know him,
Or at leastwise not as such.
Moral of this woful poem:
Frequent oil your safety-clutch.

SAFE-CONDUCT
(bouvier) | SAFE-CONDUCT, comm. law, war. A passport or permission from a neutral state
to persons who are thus authorized to go and return in safety, and,
sometimes, to carry away certain things, in safety. According to common
usage, the term passport is employed on ordinary occasions, for the
permission given to persons when there is no reason why they should not go
where they please: and safe-conduct is the name given to the instrument
which authorizes certain persons, as enemies, to go into places where they
could not go without danger, unless thus authorized by the government.
2. A safe-conduct is also the name of an instrument given to the
captain or master of a ship to proceed on a particular voyage: it usually
contains his name and residence, the name, description and destination of
the ship, with such other matters as the practice of the place requires.
This document is indispensably necessary for the safety of every neutral
ship.
3. The act of congress of April 30th, 1790, s. 27, punishes the
violation of any safe-conduct or passport granted under the authority of the
United States, on conviction, with imprisonment, not exceeding three years,
and a fine at the discretion of the court. Vide Conduct; Passport; and 18
Vin. Ab. 272.
