An Unmarried Man.
I'm a happy man at last,

I'm happy man at last,
My heart is running over;
Married man just think Of that
No more whining lover.
I'm mad with joy; tied fast and close,
To, o, the sweetest cousin:
And if I've turned one summerset,
have at least dozen!
asked her once, twas long ago,
While sitting by her side,
(rm blushing while l write the worls,)
If she would be my bride.
Heavens! how her black eyes look edat me
How funnily felt!
wished Prince Hamlet's that my
Too solid flesh might melt"
IT'S said that time works wondrous things
found the saying true;
She soon came round again, and
Once more began to WOO.
Icoaxed her, kissed her, gave her things
Ipraised her lovellness;
She wore my ring and kissed me back,
But never would say yes"
How many, many weary months
I've waited for the word,
And sighed thousand times that saw,
You know i, Hope deferred!
Shed ask me what meant, and pout,
And slap me in the face;
How odd IL makes fellow feel
When hit in such place?
We sat one evening all alone,
CThe old folks were n-bed)
Watching each other anxiously,
Yet not word was said.
My arm was round her little waist,
My heart beat thick and fast;
Whispered softly in her ear,
And she said yes, at last.
1t is pleasure, Charley dear,
You never yet have known,
To hold the lovellest girl on earth,
And feel her all your own;
But if you wish for happiness,
And wish to cheaply buy it,
Go aud get married, dearest friend,
Just try it, only try it.
