To the Managers of the C. C. Metel Company

  That Israel worshippd calves of Gold
       The Holy writ discloses
  For wch idolatry of old
       They were rebuked by Moses
  If then to Gold no rites are due
       Tis surely more improper
  That wee should homage pay to you
        Who are but Calves in Copper
