FILLING AND HEADING CASKS.

---

While cooling, it begins to grain,
⁠Or form in crystals white and clear;
Then we remove the whole again,
⁠And to the curing-house we bear.

Molasses there is drain'd away;
⁠The liquor is through hogsheads pour'd;
The scum falls through, the crystals stay;
⁠The casks are clos'd, and soon on board.
