A BACHELOR’S VIEWS.
A PIPE, a book, A cozy nook, A fire—at least its embers ; A dog, a glass—’Tis thus we pass Such hours as one remembers.
Who’d wish to wed ’ Poor Cupid’s dead These thousand years I wager, The modern maid
Is but a jade, Not worth the time to cage her.
In silken gown To ■ take ’ the town Her first and last ambition.
What good is she To you or me Who have but a ‘ position ?’
So let us drink To her—but think Of him who has to keep her ; And sans a wife, Let’s spend our life In bach’lordom —it’s cheaper.
