SELECT POETRY, GIRLS , ASS ALONG!

Blew me 1 wh»/» » 0 »y row . Of girls at me /heir glances throw, Ai they gtily/ome and B°> The BgW coquettish throng ! Can't the dafings hear me say, " I have ha/ my youthful day ; Now, I popich things away" T GirlM>*"» along I Ah, my/oe ! pray desist ! Sooth, /care not to be kissed ; Atk y<Ar mother if I list T# Cupid's siren song! She-*»ut that is entre nous — Knora what love and I can do : Hesadvice you'd best pursue — /Girls, pass along ! Liura, you would hardly guess Jow your grandam used to press Xipa of mine— well— l confess / We didn't think it wrong ; ' Look ! she's coming ; tempt me not In gay saloon or shady grot ; A jealous eye tbe dame has got ; Girls, paw along I You smiling too, you naughty Rose! I wonder, now, if you suppose I'm nor aware what sort of beaux Around your beauty throng ! I know the husband-hunting crew, A*hd all the pretty tricks they do ; I'm old— but much too young for you, Girls, pass along ! Away, away ! you madcaps ! fly ! Your roguish arts why will you try To blind a graybeard such as I With Cupid's slender thong ? Yet, like a powder magazine, My heart from flying sparks I screen, The sparks that shoot from wanton c'en ; Girls, pass along ! — After Beranger, by Saxe.
