From the Dispatch.
A L0ve.Lefter in Rhyme.

COMPOSED some time after the food Of Admiro
Noah, 6y the heart Smitten Jacob--addressed 4
the flame inspiring Nancy.
To thee, dear Nancy thee, my sweeting,
Your Jacob sends these few lines greeting -
With thee, by all the powers above,
I'm over head and ears in love!
Young Cupid took his station sly
In one bright corner of your eye,
And from his bow let fly dart saa'f
Which pierc'd my ribs and hit my heart
Opened way so clear and wide,
It's quite deranged my inward side
Indeed, so restless have grown,
/ cannot bear TO live alone.
By day and night always fancy ....r.
I'd like to W ak or talk with Nancy. aa
In thee, dear sweetheart, behold
More tempting charms, by far, than gold
Nor would the world, without you, be
A world of any worth to me
Goodness, when beaming from your eyes,
Far mole than cribs of corn | prize;
And thy sweet smile, howe'eT protracted.
Would make me with delight distracted.
Cotton, when gina'd and neatly press'd,
Is not so fair as your white breast;
Nor is tobacco half so sweet,
To those who love the weed to eat,
AS are your ruby lips to one
Who lungs to press them to his own.
Then, Nancy, take me unto you,
I'll prove forever kind and true
My love shall last so long, no doubt
Sayannah's stream shall first run out
And when death comes to put Us under,
And cut our marriage knot asunder,
I'll strive to die the day that you do.
And thus we'll leave the world as few do,
So, if through life, with me you take up,
In death III still.be your dear Jacob!

in brief words is one Of the thousand heart rendng
