A LOVE LYRIC.
Pm sadder than the willow That loiters by the bank, I'm sadder than the billow — So uniformly dank: I'm sadder than the deep bine sea, I'm sadder tten the sky. Who seeks to Wire my misery Is not advised to try. I'm not going to have my hair cut, I'm not £oing to wash my face, I'm not going to clean my teeth or shave, Nor fasten up my lace; For by the stars above me My love no longer loves me, She is the only cause of my Tonsorial disgrace. Til flee the sight and sonnd of men, I'll cot go out to dine, M lion in a den. Of quite the latest line. I'll not respect a hoary pate, I'll never whistle tunes, But I will sit and emulate The habits of baboons. Fm not going to have my boots brushed, I'm not going to cut my nails, Fm not going to us? a knife or fork s But live on salt sea snails; For by the stars above me, My love no longer loves me, So I will go and ml with tears Two large--enamelled. pails.
