Which the same Nye had dealt unto me.
Then I looked up at Nye, And he gazed upon me ; And he rose with a sigh.
And said, " Can this be ?
We are ruined by Chinese cheap labor," — And he went for that heathen Chinee.
In the scene that ensued I did not take a hand.
But the floor it was strewed Like the leaves on the strand With the cards that Ah Sin had been hiding, In the game '^ he did not understand." In his sleeves, which were long, He had twenty-four jacks, — Which was coming it strong, Yet I... state but the facts ; And we found on his nails, which were taper, What is frequent in tapers, — that 's wax.
