I'm a happy man at last, My heart is running over; Married num. inst tliirik of that ! No more a whining lover. I'm mad with joy; tied fast and close, To, O, the sweetest cousin ; And if I've turned one summerset, I have at least a dozen! I asked her once, 'twas long ugo, wi.iiA i... .... "V. (I'm blushing while I write llic words,) If she would be my bride. Heavens! how her black eyes looked nt me! How funnily I felt! I wished Prince Hamlet's wish, that 'my Too solid flesh might melt.1 'Tis said that time works wondrous things; 1 found the saying true; She sOon 'came round' again, and I unce more began to woo. I coaxed her, kissed her, gave her things, I praised her loveliness; * She wore my wring and kissed me back, But never would say 'yes!' How many, many weary months I've waited for the word. And sighed a thousand times that saw, You know it, "IIopo deferred!" She'd ask me what I meant, and pout, And slap trie in the face; How odd it makes a fellow feel When bit iu such a place! We sat one evening all alone, (The old folks were a-bed) Watehing_aach oilier anxiouslj*, Yet not a word was said. My arm was round her little waist, My heart beat thick and fast; I whispered softly in her ear, And she said yes, at last. It is a pleasure, Charlj- dear, You never yet have known, To hold the loveliest girl on earth, And feel her all your own ; But if yon wish for happiness, And wish to nlirftnlw Imv rv ?J Go and get married, dearest friend, Just try it, only try it ADVERTISEMENTS.
