AMOR FUGIT.
"Excellent ■« retch ! perdition catch my soul, out I do Jo\e thce." I know a little uMidcn With eyes of softest brown : But when 1 w ovikl embrace her. She answers with a frown, " Have done, sir ! Be gone, sir ! You know 'us very wrong !" Ah ! loi o is lito. but love hus fled From palace, cot and humble shedIs the burden of my sonjj. I know a merry maiden, With eyes of laughing blue, Who kisses without asking, Nor are her kisses few. " What fun. sir ! Come, run, sir ! I'm atter you ere long." Ah ! love is sweet, but love has fled From palace, cot t ird humble shed— Js the bin den of my song. Is there no other maiden, No other maiden dear, Whose trusting love shall cheer me, Nor shrink with prudish fear * " Alas ! sir, 'tis past, sir, I've waited over long." Now I am old. and love has fled From palace, cot and humble shedIs the burden of my song.
