A kind friend has favored us with the following song, as sung by the Charlottesville Glee Club:
- How do you like it as far as you've got?
- Jefferson D, Jefferson D,
- Are you glad you began it, or do you wish you had not?
- Jefferson, Jefferson D.
- People say, though of course I don't know that it's so,
- That your spirits are getting decidedly low,
- That you're sick and discouraged and don't know what,
- But say though — do you like it as far as you've got.
- Ho! Ho! Jefferson D,
- Things look rather shaky now
- 'Twixt you and me.
- You can't think how sorry I was when I heard,
- Jefferson D, Jefferson D,
- That your visit to Washington had been deferred,
- Jefferson, Jefferson D,
- But I hope you will find it convenient to come
- When Abe and the rest of the boys are at home
- And I trust you won't mind it, they're such a lot,
- If they ask you how you like it as far as you've got.
- Ho! Ho! Jefferson D.
