She was a pretty; lassie. And he was a jaunty lad ; They Eat upon the seashore.

And they kept it up all summer, And each gossip wagged her head, And het that in the winter These two would surely wed. But they didn't ; for the lady Whom the lad wed months before Came down and yanked her h sband By the ear from off the shore; And he sat there nevermore.
