“I/VOMEN are books,in whick we do e¢fpy
Some blotted lines and sometimes lines

And tho', vernaps, some firait oncs intervene,
In all of them erata may be Jfeen ;
If it e so, I wifk that my wife eere
An almanac, te change her every year.?
AN IMPROMTU ANSIWER.
BY MRS, Seiuina,
“WOMEN are books,” in this |do agree;
But men there are that can’t read A, B, C,
And some who have not genius to discern,
T'he beauties of the books they attempt to learn:
For these, an almanac may always hold
As much of [cience as they can unfold.
But thank our flars, our critics arenot these;
The men of sense and taste we clways please,
Who know to'chufe and then to prize their
books,
Nor leave the }j’z’mz’t lines for to search for
crooks ;
And from those books their mobl:ff pleasure
ﬂow.,
Altha® perfellion’s never found below =
They knowwe’re in a world of error thrown,
And our eratas place againjt their own.
PARODY,
N London flreet a lad there dwells,
I More blithe than early Spring,
Whose wit each rival beau excels ;
A walpt without a fling,
"This lad {o bright,
Whose looks delight,
Has caus’d my heart to beat
I’d crowns resign,
To call him mine.
