My pipe is lit, my greg is mixed,

And Tray Is sitting on the rug.
Last nightI had curious dream:
Miss Susan Bates was Mistress Mogg
What do You think Of that, my cat,
What do you think Of that, my dog
She looked so fair, she sang so wei,
could but woo, and she was won
Myself In blue, the bride in white
The ring was placed-the deed was done.
away we went, in chaise and four,
As last as grinnilg boys could fog.
What do you think Of that, my cat!
What do you think Of that, my dog
What loving tete a-tete to come
But tete-a. tetes must still defer;
When Susan came to live with me,
Her mother came to live with her.
With sister Belle she couldn't part,
But all my ties had leave to Jog.
What do you think Of that, my cat!
What do you think Of that, my dog?
The mother brought pretty poll
A monkey too-what work he made;
The sister introduced beau-
MY Susan brought a favorite maid.
She had a tabby Of her own.
a snapPish mongrel, christened Cog.
w hat do you think Of that, my cat,
The monkey bit, the parrot screamed
All day the sister strummed and sung;
The petted maid was such a scold-
My Susan learned to use her tongue.
Her mother had such wretched health,
She safe and croaked like any frog
What do you think Of tt a, my cat,
- What do you think Of that, my dog,
No longer deary, duck, and love,
1 soon came down 10 simple -
The very servants GRO sed my wish
lily Susan let me down to item.
The poker hardly seemed my cwn-
L might as well have been a log.
What do you think Of that, my cat,
What do you think Of that my dog,
Ny clothes they were tn. queerest shape
such coats and hats she never met; .
Ny ways tley were the oldest ways
Ny friends were such vulgar set.
Poor IOmkinSon was snubbed and huffsd-
she could net bear that Mr. Blogg.
What do you think OF that, nv cat?
q What do you think Of that, my dog?
At this we had spar, and then
Mamma must mingle in the song;
The sister took sisters part
The II aid declared her master wrong
Ire parrot learned to cali me fcoln-
My life Was Like a London fog.
