YE POOR GENSUS MAN.
‘ Pray what is Jour age?’ said ye census man sage. And ye damsel spoke never a word. ' Are you foolish, insane, deaf, humpbacked or lame?’ And she smiled at a thought so absurd. ‘ Do you powder or paint ?’ and her smile it grew faint. ‘ Do you snore, Miss, and have you cold feet?’ Ye damosel yet she spake not, you bet, But ye man he lay dead in ye street.
