AUCTION EXTRAORDINARY

dreamt dream in the midst ofmy slumbers,
And 4, fast as dreamt, it was coined into numbers,
1t seem'd that Il law had been recently made,
That tax on old bachelors pates should be lad,
And in ordcrto make them all willing TO marry,
The tax was as large as man could we'll carry.
The banchelors grumbed and said twas no use,
It was downright injustice and horrid abuse, :.
And declared to save their hearts blood from spiinS
OF such a vile tax they would meier pay shilling.
But the rulers determined their plan to pursue,
So they set all the bachelors up at ventne
A cyer was sent thro' the town to and fro,
To rattle his bell. and his trumpet to blow,
And to bawl out to all he might meet on the way,
Ho forty old bachelors sold here to day!
And presently all the old maidsin the town,
Each one IN her very best bonnet and gown:
From thirty to sixty fair, plain, red and pale,
Of every description all fiocked to the SALE
The auctloneer then in his service began,
And called out aloud as he held up man,
Here is an old b bacheor--who wants to buy
In twink every maiden responded, III!
In short at a huge and extlavagant price,
The bachelors were all sold oif in trice,
And forty bright maiaens some unger, solne older
Each Iusged an old baahcor home on her shoulder.
