But il you will ask Nj r ed6sld to show

Before the first five lines of such stuff you'd sung?
But inasmuch as on your fSrtyeighth page
You attempt to set up as PhIlOsOpher-Sage
And issue a scandal of which Pm ashamed,
Rut silence on my part would rightly be blamed;
Particularly since you've been In society, "a.
And gaIn'd through me thus, some small nOtoriety;
must take you IN hand. SIR /! without any glove,
People won't think tween US there's now any love-
Now YOU once, sir, essay with the greatest devo

To capture my heart-when you said with emotion
That 'nOthIng earth did you prize quite so high
"As smile from dear FlOra's cerul can bright eye
That my heart was the mirror of all true affection;
And that all you desir'd my sweet connection.
That yours was the courting-you'n surely allow,

AS on page twenty -One-sty 10 them fossil All ectlon

That your W Isdsm had found that you'd cheated
When II plainly appears you sought only my pelf.
Twas the cost the JEWELS the cost of the shawls
Inc cost OF the toilets; the cost Of the balls;
The cost of the pleasures; the cost to the pocket;

Though not crusted with diamonds; you may keep

Which you have 20 often accepted from me.D
But truce to conferrIng with one that's mean.
Then away without even "ths form a bow'-
AsyOu left me tas yOE say you hardly know how"
I'D refer to the page from which | first noted,
The libel that there exists such deep distress
In the female community Tor want Of dress;
With the pitifni wall Of Nothing to Wear;
That IN one single house on the FIhh avenue.
Three young LADIES' were found tall below twenty
"~ho had been full three weeks without any thing
That IN a large mansion near the same place,
WAS sePOrable, heart-rending CASE
Now, TO use gen'ral terms. it's all very well,
La fear OF the law, and suit for Libel;
But when you SPEAK thus of my Avenue friends,
Il surely requires me TO seek some amends
Now which of those houses do you to point TO,
In each Of those houses you've been well received
That al sDrt of gratitude 3 torn from your breast;
That you should presume that they're DISTRESSED!
And worse than all this, that, on page fifty two,
