Hos gone, dear Fanny!-gone at last
We've said good bye-and all is over;
Twas gay dream but it is past
Next Tuesday he will sail from Dover.
~ gE gentle waves be round his Prov.
Bot tea. and pra, or alike are idlc
On who shall I'LL my album now
Aud who shall hold my poneys bridles
Last night he left us after tea
never thought he'd leave us--never
Ne was so pleasant, wasn't he,
Papa, too, said he was SO clever.
md Fanny, you'll be glad to hear,
Fiat little boy that looked 80 yellow.
" hose eyes were so like his,--rny dear,
isa poor little orphan fellow.
That odious Miss Lucretia Browne
Who with her horrid pugs and Bibles;
Is always running through the town,
And circulating tracts-and libelS;
Because he never danced with her,
Told dear mamma such horrd scandal,
About his moral character,
For STOPPING just to tic q sandal.
She said he went to fights and fairs
That always give papa the iidgets;
Shc said he did not know his prayers,-
He's every Sunday at St. Bridgot's!
she saddle squeezed ones waist and hands,
Nhene or he waltzed-a plague upon her
uailCeu with MN AT Gady BlandS,
he never squeezed me" pom my honour"
His regiment have got the route,
tIhey came down here Ia queii the riot,
And now what can they be abouts-
The stupid people arc so quict:)
they shy u is 10 India, too,
II there, I'm sure he'll get the liver
.ancshould he bathe-- he used In do
Fheyre e'ocodilcs in ev'ry river.
;"re may be bright eyes therc--and then!
n sure love hun like a brother:l
'.t re viii soon be strung again.
a. i2urt will soon boat for another
;a" him we'll! he is not false
~ "i, n The song he loves is PLAYING,
i,a iIp has danced waltz
g. mover knows what he is savinr.
40" tNas wrong-'twas very wrong
10 as;en - his wild romaneinr:
'.ls, night L danced with hun too lonr,
0er's aiHays gildy after dancing:
but wAcl he begged me so to sing,
And when he sighed, and asked me, would I:
And when he took my turquoise ring
l'in sure could not help it, could L
Papa was lecturiug the girls.
And talked of settlements md rcntals;--
wore whte-!acc frock-and pearls
Tie looked so well in regirnentals!
And just before we came away,
While we were Whiting for the carriage,
J heard him, not quite plain say
Something OF Blacksmiths- OF marriage.
He promised, ifhc could get leave,
He'd soon come back--f wonder can hc'--
Lord Hill IS very strict, b'leve;-
What could he mean by Blacfsmiths, Fanny:i
lie said he wished veneer had met
] snswofcd--it was lovely wcathrr!--
And ;hen he badc me not forget
The Pheasant days we'd passed together.
Hes gone--aud other lips may weave
stronger spell! than mine to bind him.
Bat hif hirn. il he love me, leave
Those rhymes be made mo, love, beh md him:
Icll him know those wayward strings
Not always sound TO mirthtnl measures;
But sighs are sometimes pleasant things,
And tears from those we love are trea.urcs.
Tell him TO leave off drinking vine,
Tell him to break himself of smoking,
Tell him 10 go TO bed at nine
Ills hours arc really quite provoking
Tell him hope he wOn t get fat.
Tell him 70 act with due reflection:
Tell him to wear broad leafed hat,
Or else he'll ruin his complexion.
Toll Him am i'll to-day,
Perhaps Tomorrow I'll be better.
3'e'l him before he goes away,
TO write me- consoling letter;
Tell him TO send me down that SOM
He said he loved the best ofany--
Tell him I'm sure | can't live long,
And bid him love mo won't you Eannvs
