HAPPY LOVE.
While they sat before the fire, Nothing more did he desire, Than to get a little Higher, . If he could ; * ■ And his heart beat high and higher, And her look grew shy and shyerj When he sidled up close by her, As he should. Then he ventured' to inquire If her sister, Jane Mariar, And her mother and her sire, Were quite well? And from time to time he'd eye her, As though he would like to buy her, And his bashf ulness was dire, ' For a spell. Then his husky throat grew dryer When he told her that the 'Squire To himself would glally tie her If she would ; Might he now go ask her sire? • When she said to his desire, That he could.
