Quote: Boston, Home of the Beans and the Cod

[Beth Meister <librarybeth@YAHOO.COM>]

Hi, everyone!

My friend is looking for the author of the poem:
Boston, dear Boston,
Home of the beas and the cod,
Where the Lowells speak only to the Cabots,
And the Cabots only to God.

I've been able to find a variety of versions of this
poem and two possible authors, Samuel C. Bushnell and
John Collins Bassidy, but not in any really good
sources.

Can anyone help us out? TIA!
