Xou complaint my dear Bob, that send YOU no news
Aho give you no glance a. political views;
Nhow then we We been striving three days the least
L u ADD to the sweets OF the comjugal feast:
" seems We have grown such parcel of Turks
we can't get enough of creatious fair works,
Ai though marriage according Swift is fblistcr,
s.ach man shall be suffered to wed his wiles sister.
In o,x code on this subject we've found out a flaw;
ouch marriage was good i'll Levitical law
when wife secured 'gainst this her sex, sir
Mwas merely intended she never should rec her:
NOW how could she the poor woman, quite dead,
ny taking her place in the conjugal bcd?-
As tor "nearnes, Of kan" it might blockheads ennesl
But "near1,ess Of kim is "remnani Of fesh.'
ans view OF the matter is paiuand pray heark'ye,
4 rs strongly enforced by one Solomon Idrca:
w no the dickens he was, / confess | know not,
One member asserted, vile Hottentot,
But another declared him Frenchman by birth
Ana the greatest of men on the face of the earth
BY tie bye were becoming profound Hebrew schulars-
Our teacher has charged hirty-sir hatdrcd dollars!
Round sam! you will cry, but say you, psh.
Row else should we have heard Of the .NiStnaf?
W no IS there of soul or of feeling
20 demur nj the price we've paid for Gemarrat?
MY gatters and stars. Bob, twas good penuywo-th
10 hear the jarcrackers the subject called forth;
LAWYERS, and Doctors, AMI Rabbits and Kings,
hno baechus aud Venus and Cupid with wings,
emissions an Heathens, and shackes and etters--
II put me in mind Bob, of Junass letters
Where the hachets and dagges and masks Draper
Az maze metaphoric, cut each one capcr.
Young .fd-i explored heaven earth and the main,
Went up TO the days of od abel and Cain,
Kansacked every corner and Granny and nook
from beginning TO end of the PeutateuCb,
Drew examples from Greece, and he seemd quite home
In all things connected with classical Rome
But England, old England he Showed the place
sprung this restrictions scourge OF race;
Vile Harry of England, the last of the eight,
Cnnisived the whole business get ril - Kate;
Inc charms of Anne Boeyn in his head
Ills conscience prevented his sleeping an bed;
tthu 10 slew that this matter far from Joke
inc case was referred Sir john and Lord Coke
Now does It not staggcr belief that we take
As inc rule OF our morals, the rule of rake?
20 nluCn Tor HlS branch of he subj dear Bpb.
ana as iorihc rest of this soul thrilling job,
Don every one know that old 1'an;'us's hell
Is up 10 the chin in the water to dwell:
ION every one know if you tie down man
re re stEusg lie to snap all his cords if he can:
a. you say he shant marry some beautiful sitl,
Len chances 10 one but his heads in a whiIl
In"u ne II love her so madly, dearly and truly
lie II surely so OH to the ultima Thule
Ion we know that the passion love is a food
" h.ch cannot be checked III its progress Ly Jiood?
Ion I you Know lis fire which steals on its bed
though The wind should be blowing n TEMPEST ahead,
" "uia you stop such flame, which onward thus
ny throwing upon it, combusble pagcs'
ouu you stop by Statttc3 you'd fiud ali your CURES
acre nothing if left to Counter loves fires
-. -" 5"t' Nif. Speaker, hen you went a wonug
CT 'hinN al the statute. while billing AMI coonp3n
love sets at defiance, the warnings Of reas,n
:" talk ct the codes little short Of high treason
.P.S.
am sorry to tell you the vote has been taken
And the law as it stands will moi be fi,rsakeu
.he majority deem it matter Of fccliar
w doubt cattndFe Bob!-Ihereio.r apnealino
40 every mans bosom, the thing has been Iosi
N''" we 2rdve!y sit down now to count un the cost
''0'e Swift says, tha; "a man who mares because h
- i've chas'ey as like one. who finding few hunatir;
:" us no'y' puts on perpetual blister"
