The Old Maid's Comfort.
Since Married men and bachelors
Their comforts (hew in print,
1 hope with me you will agree,
Maids should have fomethnig in't,
How happy is the maiden life!
How bleft a single state!
No man to lord it d'er her peace,
Nor plagu'd with churlilh mate.
No equalling brats disturb her rest,
No granules—no, nor nurses ;
No groanings, fcreamings, cares or fears,
Nor br^tidi hufb^nds curses.
For foroe who wear the wedded yoke,
Live fharling all their days,
Witt hard words, jealousies and ftrife,
Hqw dreadful are their ways!
Not so the happy virgin lives,
Her troubles ne'er mcreafe ;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.
The serenading ofthe Federalifis which used to
be heard in the farmer, of '9B and 99, is now
turned into sighs and hallow groans ; their burgs
of laughter, and the looks of scorn, are metamor
phosed into lamentations and dejetted prizes; the
patriotic song of/
"Hail Columbia, happy Land,"
is paraphrased by them thus,
Damn Columbia, cursed Land :
and
" The rock on which the dorm (hall beat,"
. is changed to
The ihoal on which our (hip has beat.
The Democrats feeing that the Federalists have
thus altered their favourite song savage like torn
it piece-meal asunder, have refeued one of the o
riginal verses from these paws, which they pre
sent; together with a paraphrase thereon. Qf
Federali Its formerly freaking of Mr. Adams, fai^
Behold the chief who now commands,
Once more to save his country (lands.
The rock on which the storm (hall beat,
The rock on which the Dorm (hall beat,
And when the storm of war is done,
Enjoy the prize by valor won.
Thus paraphrafedby the Democrats upon the Elec
tion of their Prefdent.
Behold the chief who NOW commands,
Once more to save his country (lands,
The rock on which our hopes now red,
The rock on which our hopes now refa
And when the storm of Faftiorfs done,
Enjoy the prize by virtue won.
Let independence be our boast, &c.
This little alteration is allowed even be Feder
alists, for the President's March is no longer con
sidered as the true ftaudard of Federalism.
