A BACHELOR'S BALLAD.
Returning home at the. close nf day, Who gently chides my limp delay. And t)y my side delights to stay'! Who potfl for me my oasy chair, Prepares the room with r.natesL care, And lays iny slippers ready there? Wlio regulates thu ovcninpr fire, Ami piles tlic blazing fuel higher, A'.iJ bids me draw my chair still niglicr ? When sickness comes to rack my frame, And grief disturbs my troubled brain, Wlio .sympathises with my pain? Nobody! —Amnrican (>ueen.
