# Beds of roses (1)/The choice of a husband

THE CHOICE OF A HUSBAND.
SINCE honour has attended upon the marriage state, And from the torch of Hymen our happiness we date, If e’er the Fates ordain it that I should be a wife,
The picture I will draw of the partner of my life.
Then I’d litre no longer single,
Could but my influence,
A conquest gain o’er such a swain,
Endu’d with common sense,
Then I’d live no longer single.
The fop, beau & fribble, cou’d ne’er myfancytake,
Nor yet did I admir- the rattle-headed rake, (brave,
To guard himself from insult, I’d have him bold &
To wink at little foibles that I may chance to have.
Then I’d live no longer single, &c.
His person in proportion, more robust than fine,
A fort of easy carelessness deportment to decline;
And affably Sc candidly share all my joys & cares,
And give me my prerogative in family affairs.
Then I’d live no longer single, &c
His conversation fraught with endearing sentiment,
Free from the pedant stiffness, & rude impertinent,
In his lawful dealings, let honour still preside.
Frugal in economy, let prudence be his guide.
Then I’d live no longer single, &c.
His principles untainted, his morals just & found,
And one in whom the distaste of honesty is found;
I value not the glaring of wealth and pageantry,
But plac’d above necessity is just enough for me,
Then I’d live no longer single, &c.
​Could you recommend me to such a one to this,
I’d think myself arriv’d at the summit of all bliss!
And for his health & welfare for ever would I pray,
And think myself in duty bound to love & to obey.
Then I’d live no longer single, &c.

# Beds of roses (1)/The choice of a wife

THE CHOICE OF A WIFE.
IN city, town, & village, my fancy oft has mov’d,
A Phillis and a Chloe, I ev’ry where have lov'd,
But, tir’d with variety, to marriage I’m inclin’d,
Would fortune only grant me a partner to my mind.
Then I’d go no more a roving,
But constant as the dove,
My time I’d pass with such a lass,
In harmony and love.Then, &c.
​I care not for completion, be she black, brown or fair,
If she has but discretion, and meaning in her air;
Her shape I’d have graceful, to pride & folly blind,
To mind the one thing needful, to cultivate the mind.
Then I’d go no more a roving, &c
An animated form, where sense & sweetness move,
And innocence refining the tenderness of love:
From scolding & scandal, I’d have her tongue be free.
And always neat and clean keep herself & family,
Then i d go no more a roving, &c.
I’d have a just decorum in all her actions shine,
With a temper condescending to suit herself & mine,
Ora cheerful disposition, with honour free & gay,
And sometimes with a song to pass the time away.
Then I’d go no more a roving, &c.
It shall not be my study to court a leaden purse,
Altho’ with that ingredient she will not be the worse,
Let modesty, reserve, be her property and choice,
Not over fond to cloy, and yet not over nice.
Then I’d go no more a roving &c.
To heighten my affection, & double all my joy,
A prospect I would have of a lovely girl or boy;
And out of what f have, for it’s what I would allow,
I would charitable have her, and hospitable too.
Then I’d go no more a roving, &c.
This granted, I would freely my liberty resign,
She’d give me her heart & hand, & I’d give her mine,
A monarch on his throne then unenvy’d should be,
For home would be a paradise with such a girl as she,
Then I’d go no more a roving,
But constant as the dove,
My time I’d pass with such a lass,
In harmony and love
Then I’d go no more a roving.

# Beds of roses (1)/Arra Captain Agra

CAPTAIN AGRA
Arra, Captain Agra, I’m going to lift,
Will you lend me the loan of your hand in my fist?
I’m going to Dublin, is this the straight way?
I was not there to-morrow nor here yesterday.
When I went to Dublin, that very fine place,
I went to Green Castle or e’er I did cease;
I look’d all around me to fee what I could spy,
E’er a one in the world to make a soldier of I.
The first thing I saw was a man on horseback,
With a red coat and a three-cocked-hat;
I boldly stept to him and made a low stoop,
And swore by my durk I would lift in his troop.
The first thing they gave me was a fine red coat.
With three straps of leather to gird me about;
With a scabbard at my side, and a pouch to put on,
Oh! then for the wars as bold as I can.
The next thing they gave me was a black-horse,
He lifted me on and my legs went across:
But he would not stir till I gave him the flee!,
And then my brave gelding could run to the deed.
​ Then the next thing he gave me was a long gun,
And under the bolt he made me place my thumb;
It was not long there till the gun gave a crack,
And gave my poor shoulder a terrible stroke
Captain Agra, I cry’d will you help me to tie her,
I believe she’s the devil, fee how she spits five!
It’s a wonder that a man of your understanding,
Should contrive such a thing for any man’s handling.
Captain Agra, I pray, there is one thing I want,
Does my gun go to Meeting! or does she keep Lent!
Indeed fays the Captain, I can’t magnify,
Oh! arra my jewel, I’m as well satisfy’d.
The next thing they shew’d me was a long boat.
And if you believe me, the could sweem when afloat;
She’s but half a year old, and if the does thrive,
She’ll be as big’s a slave-galley before she be five.
Then after, they (hew’d me a very large sloop,
With two standards up and her wings flying about,
With her rudder behind, and a great stern before,
She’s certainly a devil———I ne’er saw before.

# Beds of roses (1)/O! Wonder to hear!

O WONDER TO HEAR.
THERE liv’d long ago in a country place,
A clever young lad that lov’d a sweet lass:
She lov’d him again, and (O wonder to hear !)
No offers could move her, she lov’d him’so dear.
The Lord of the village took it into his head,
To tempt her to leave him and come to his bed;
He offer’d her jewels, and babbles, and rings,
But she slighted his love, and refus’d his gay things.
He told her he’d make her as gay as a queen,
Her gown should be silk, and her cap colberteen:
But she said linsey-woolsey & bonlace would serve,
And rather than please him she’d venture to starve.
He told her, he’d give her a pad to ride out,
Or a coach, if she lik’d if, to visit about:
She thank’d him, but said, she could very well walk,
If she had a coach, how the neighbours would talk.
He said, for the neighbours, he’d make it his care,
That none, ev’n the Parson on Sundays should dare,
To find fault with her conduct, or offer to blame,
Her manner of living, or blast her good name.
She told him in short, he muff e’en be content,
For jewels or gold should ne’er bribe her consent:
Her heart was another’s, and so should remain,
And she scorn’d to be false for the lucre of gain.

# Beds of roses (1)/The reformed drunkard

THE REFORMED DRUNKARD.
AS I was a walking the streets up and down,
I saw my young landlady drest in a silk gown,
With my elbows all out my breeches out at knee,
See how my young landlady frowns upon me
O then stept to her, and told her my cafe,
She up with her hand and struck me on the face,
Saying, Thou saucy fellow do not prat to me,
Dost thou think that I mind such a drunkard as thee!
See the impudent fellow and drunkard, said she,
Dost thou think that I mind such a drunkardas thee!
When you call’d for strong liquor, I gave you the dregs,
That bought me fine clothes & reduc’d you to rags.
​ But when I had silver and gold in my fist,
O then she would meet me and give me a kiss;
But now my money’s gone and my pockets empty,
See how the dissembler frowns upon me.
So now fellow-drunkards, you fee how I’m us’d,
When my money’s all gone then I am abus’d;
But now tor her sauce, I wiser shall be,
I will think on my wife and my family.
I’ll go home to my wife & children who are poor,
I us’d to abuse her and call her a whore;
The more I said to her, the more she did cry,
O what a filly drunkard and blockhead was I
But if I had been rul’d by my wife at the first,
I might have had silver and gold in my purse,
For to maintain my wife and children small,
But I prov’d a drunkard and ruin’d them all.
But now I’ll refrain, it’s high time to amend,
My money I’ll save, it will be my bell friend;
But to speak of the ale-wives, how oft I them fed,
While my wife & children were starving for bread.
Come all you drunkards take warning by me,
Your folly in time I would have you to fee;
And ail you in youth who’ve your time to begin,
Pray think of yourselves, let the landladies spin.

THE BEDS OF ROSES.
As I was a walking one morning in May,
The small birds were singing delightful and gay,
There with my true love did often sport and play,
Down among the bonny Beds of Roses.
My pretty brown girl come fit on my knee,
For there’s none in the world I can fancy but thee;
Nor will I ever change my old love for a new,
So my pretty brown girl do not leave me.
My daddy and mammy, they often us’d to say,
That I was a naughty boy and us’d to run away;
If they bid me go to work I would sooner go to play,
Down amongst the bonny Beds of Roses.
If I had ten thousand bright guineas laid in store,
I would give it all to the girl I do adore,
I would give it all, and twice as much more,
And a chariot of gold for to ride in.
No nymph on the plain with my love can compare,
With a comb set with diamonds I’ll plait up her hair;
Of all love enjoyments, my love she shall share,
Down amongst the bonny Beds of Roses.
No creature on earth is so happy as me,
While my charming young girl is set on my knee,
A smile or a kiss brings fresh pleasure to me,
Down amongst the bonny Beds of Roses.
My daddy may fret and my mammy may frown,
For to walk with my true love I’ll venture alone,
Fall lock’d in my arms, all one love we will own,
Down amongst the bonny Beds of Roses.
If ever I marry, I’ll marry in May,
When the flow’rs are springing, delightful and gay, ​Then my true love and I will dance, sing and play,
Down amongst the bonny Beds of Roses.
Then away to the church we will walk with an air,
Kind Hymen proclaim us to be the happy pair,
Her bosom I’ll press, and her chains I will wear,
Down amongst the bonny beds of Roses.
As I was a walking one morning in the Spring,
The Winter going out and the Summer coming in,
The cuckow sand cuckow, you’re welcome here again
And I pray you stay among the green bushes.

Bluefield Waterworks Improvement Company v. Public Service Commission of West Virginia
Argued: January 22, 1923. --- Decided: June 11, 1923
Messrs. Alfred G. Fox and Jos. M. Sanders, both of Bluefield, W. Va., for plaintiff in error.
Mr. Russell S. Ritz, of Bluefield, W. Va., for defendants in error.
[Argument of Counsel from pages 680-683 intentionally omitted]
Mr. Justice BUTLER delivered the opinion of the Court.
This case established a standard of comparable earnings when determining the cost of equity capital as used in calculating a utility's rate base in a ratemaking proceeding. In this method, parties would identify a group of comparable companies and the group's earnings rate would be used to establish the utility's required return on equity. Controversy surrounded the fact that if multiple utility's came in for a rate case in a sequential fashion, the same companies deemed comparable could be included in the pool, or the pool in which they had previously been included could be used to determine their new rate of return. This could result in a feedback loop with each company's inclusion in the pool later setting its return on equity without regard for real circumstances. This method was commonly used until 1960-1970.

# Blue e'ed Mary/This is no my ain house

THIS IS NO MY AIN HOUSE.
This is no my ain house, I ken by the rigging o’t; Since with my love I’ve changed vows, I dinna like the bigging o’t. ​For now that I’m young Robie’s bride, And mistress of his fireside, My ain house I like to guide, And please me with the trigging o’t.
Then farewell to my father’s house, I gang where love invites me; The strictest duty this allows, When love with honour meets me, When Hymen moulds us into ane, My Robie’s nearer than my kin, And to refuse him were a sin, Sae lang’s he kindly treats me.
When I am in my ain house, True love shall be at hand ay, To make me still a prudent spouse, And let my man command ay; Avoiding ilka cause of strife, The common pest of married life, That makes ane wearied of his wife, And breaks the kindly band ay.
