A AVERY Sad" Lamenfation.

II is not that she bade me 60,
And said I'd better stop my calling,
7, ia not that she answered "No,"
As loud as could be--short Of bawling;
II was not that she slammed the door,
Aud set her nasty lap.dog on me
oh no: greater, keener grief
Weighs down my heart and preys npon me.
! cannot bear to see her 60
And promenade with other fellows:
cannnt bear to see her walk
On rainy days meath their umbrellas
To see such things a going on,
Exctes my virtuous indignation;
1t makes me swear as one might say,
In vulgar phrase, "lke all creation"
To see her seated on chair,
With half dozen fops around her,
And hear that fool AUGUSTUS swear
He "cant exist day without her."
'Tis this which make my withered hopes
Fall thick and fast like leaves in Autumn,
And causes my poor heart to beat
Like young bears when dogs have caught him
What if her father is Squire,
And I'm friendless Printers DEvIL2
She needn't cut me in the street
1t wouldn't hurt her to be civil.
But ah! my heart strings are a lutte
On which her hand unteelng fingers;
Well be it so the tune is sad
But then it's played by beauty's fingers.
Enough! enough I've lost the maid
NY mind ia bordering on distraction
Yes, yes-lll leave this classic shade,
And seek a wider field of action:
For in the distant Texian land.
In wars prond ranks I'll seek for glory,
And then perhaps in later years
My name will souud in verse and story.
And if, oh cruel HARRIET1E.
You hear them tell about ''stranger
Who wore the lone star on his crest,
And never cared cent for DANGER"
Perhaps yonll proudly look around,
And with a sigh OF sympathy
Excam to all your wondering friends,
"That brave young man once courted me"
