THE BEECHER BEACHED by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: WERE HARRIET BEECHER WELL AWARE
Last Line: "HENCEFORTH SHE BEST MIGHT SELL HER WARE."
Subject(s): STOWE, HARRIET BEECHER (1811-1896);
Were Harriet Beecher well aware
Of what was done in Delaware,
Of that unwholesome smellaware,
She'd make all heaven or hell aware,
And ask John Brown to tell her where
Henceforth she best might sell her ware."
