Kitty hard-to-please
al do no, love man that's tall,
A man that's little is worse than all.
u much abhor man that's fat
A man that's lean is worse than that.
=. A young man is constant pest
4 An old one would my room infest.
ti do not like man that's fair,
y : Aman that's black I cannot bear.
A man Of sense cannot rule,
And from my heart hate a fool.
A sober man will not take,
drunken man my heart would break.
All these do sincerely hate,
And yet | love the marriage state.
This tender invitation attracted the atten-
.ion of one Of the Lansinghborough bards Of
that period, who gallanty offered his hand
accompanying it with an henes: description
