DOUBLE DEALINC.
She has two eyes that twinkle so One never can resist them ; Two cheeks, both red and white, you know, Two lips, and I have kissed them ! Two tiny feet, surpassing art, Two white hands, soft and supple ; And yesterday she stole my heart — To make another couple.
SUITOR (to her father) : * Sir, I Jove the very ground your daughter treads on.’
Father (grimly) : ‘ Well, young man, you ain’t the first party that’s had an attachment for it; howsumever, if you love it well enough to come and help to pay up the mortgage on it, like Jacob did, you can marry Sarah.’
