From what else you deserved You pain seemed so great I pitied your fate As your fair was so reserved Since the balm-breathing kiss Of this magical miss Can such wonderful transports produce Since the world you forget your lips once have met Mv counsel will get but abuse You say when tvl rove I know nothing of Tis true I am given to range If I rightly remember I've loved a good number Yet there's pleasure at least in a I will not ad vane 3 By the rules of To humor a whimsical fair Though a smile may delight Yet a frown won't affright Or drive mo to dreadful despair While ray is thus warm I

affection long dammed up by the immovable barrier of my will burst forth with energy rolling a delicious vigor through every vein Wrinkles and round shoulders disappeared In fivo Jays I fattened ten pounds was then that I succumbed to Mrs Gan deis even begged her to adjust the mat noose as soon as possible Th creature went mad with joy declared sho could die of sheer content She wrote twenty-six letters containing two and twenty-six transparent hints to different young ladies inviting to her house Only one came and it is but justice to fay that sho was en route to be- fore the letter reached

that permeated and intoxicated the soul Her teeth even firm and whiter than the driven snow filled me with delight for I did value teeth what murmurous honey bled in clear affluence from her coral lips 1 What magnetic obeyed the est touch of her dimpled band And then her name sweet expressive It was gene Barling I entered Mrs Gander's parlor at four o'clock P M I left it as I would have
