Deferred.
Grey hairs show at my temples Ye®, I shall settle down, Farewell, beloved Bohemia — No more painting the town 1 Girls who have loved and left me, Girls whom I've loved and left, Truly, my heart's not broken Tell me, are you bereft 5 Tess had a smile bewitching, Polly was passing fair : Rose had a shapely ankle, Nell had glorious hair ; Greta, blue-eyed and tender. Loved me in student days — ■ We met, we kissed, and we quarrelled— We've gone our several ways. So then, an end to trifline ' I've burned their ribbons and gloves, Letters, tresses, and trinkets — Relics of bygone loves. No more with transient sweethearts Shall I pursue delight. Stay ' there is one exception — The sweet girl I met last night. F. R. Batchelder, in "Smart Set." —
