ELECTION TIME by ANONYMOUS

First Line: GATHER YE BANK-NOTES WHILE YE MAY
Last Line: TOO SOON ITS BRILLIANT COURSE IS RUN. / ITS BEER WILL SOON STOP FLOWING
Subject(s): "HERRICK, ROBERT (1591-1674);POETRY & POETS;"

Gather ye bank-notes while ye may:
The happy time is flitting;
The Member canvassing today
Tomorrow will be sitting.

That glorious crib, the @3Rising Sun@1,
Where patriots are glowing,
Too soon its brilliant course is run.
Its beer will soon stop flowing.
