THREE SALERS.
Three Salers went sale-ing out into the West; Out into the West as the sun' rose highr' Each thought of the bargain that she would love best, | And wondered what marvels her money would buy. I For men must ; work, and women must spend, , I Tho' money is scarce, and no one will lend, And the Bargain Sales be raging.
Three wives sat up in their bedroom dim, And they turned up the gas as tho sun went down.They looked at fat parcels, and purses so slim j And happily planned' their next journey to town. For men must work, and women, must spend, Tho' ruin be sudden, and credit will end, And the Bargain Sales be raging.
Three husbands still gaze on the silks and lace. In the morning gTay, when all Hope has flown; But the women, are sleeping and dreaming in peace Of a land where the sale-bills are never . torn down. For men must work, and women m_3t spend, And the sooner 'tis over, the sooner tho end, And good-bye to the sales and their raging, "Blighty," London,
