LOVE.
O l Whnt is love ? I’ll tel!" you dove 1 - And yon can tel 1 the.lassies ; It is a snare, Set by the fair, To catch unwary asses. It is a smile, ; j - Replete with guile, : A side glance and a tremble ; A tender squei-Bo s 'Beneath the trees, With kisses to dissemble. In high flown strain Some stricken swain May praise it in bis madness ; Dot, all ! ’ere long, He’ll change his song, To one of bitter sadness,. It is a sigh, A languid eye, Some words about the weather ; A silken loop, A golden hoop, And then a life-long tether.
