HOW TO DO IT.
Would you win the heart of woman, Not an angel (they are rare), But * a woman,’ useful, human. Fit your little life to share ? Treat her gently, chastely, kindly, Let her welfare be your own. Neither judge nor love her blindly. Breathe her little faults to none. Stint not praise, but never flatter. Let your converse be sincere, Should you differ on a matter Crush her not by frown nor sneer. Never Hirt with other girls— Such a slight may not be borne. Flirts like mashers, knaves, and churls Merit honest women’s scorn. Should you win her, guide her, guard her, With a husband’s love and care, Heaven only may reward her — Woman’s worth is known np there.
Jas. Dickson.
