THE OLD MANS SONG.

Ho! pretty page, with dimpled chin,
That never has known the BARRIERS shear
All your aim is women to win.
This is the way that boys begin.
Wait till you've come to forty year:
Curly gold locks cover foolish brains,
Billing and cooling s all your cheer,
Signing and singing of midnight strains
Under Bonnybells' window panes.
Wait till you've come to forty year!
Forty times over let Michaelmass pass, x
Grzzling hair the brain doth clear;
Then you know boy is an ass,
Then you know theworth Of lass,
once you liavescome to forty year.
Pledge me round, I bid yo declare,
Allgood fellows whose boards are gray;
Did not the fairest of the fair
Common grow and wearsomc, ere
Ever month was past away!
The reddest lips that ever have kissed,
The brightest eyes that ever have shone,
May pray and whisper and we not list
Or look away and never be missed,
Ere yet month is gone. -
Gillian's dead, God rest her bier,
How loved her twenty ycars'syne!
Maran's married, but sill here,
Alive and merry at forty year,
Dipping my nose in the Gascon wine.
