RHYME WITH A MORAL.
MAN,
( If he wears good coat,
Lift him up, lift him up
Though he be but a bloat,
Lift him up.
If he has not common sense,
And can boast few pence,
Lift him up.
If his face shows no shame
Lift him up, lift him up;
Though crime is his name,
Lift him up;
Though their disgrace be his sport,
Let your daughters him court
Lift him up.
Though he bringssome disgrace,
Lift him up, lift him up;
And brings the blush to your face,
Lift him up;
Society him needs
Never mind his black deeds
Lift him Up.
WOMAN.
If woman once errs,
Kick her down, kick her down
If misfortune is hers,
Kick her down.
Though her tears fall like rain,
And she never smiles again.
Kick Aer down.
If man breaks her heart,
Kick her down, kick her down;
Redouble the smart
Kick her down.
And if in low wcondition,
On, on to perdition,
Kick her down
