" JOHN q. sAxF

BY JOHN G. SAKE. An who but oft hath marvelled why The gods who rule above Should e'er permit the young to die, The old to fall in love! An why should hapless human kind Be punished cut of season Pray listen, and perhaps you'll find My rhyme may give the reason. Death, strollirg out, one summers day, Met Cupid. with his sparrows; And, bantering in merry way, Proposed a change of arrows! "Agreed !" quoth Cupid = foresee The queercst game of errors For you the King of Hca,ts will be! And I'll be King of Terrors !'' And so twas done-aias the day That multiplied their arts Each from the other bore away A portion of lis darts !- Ard that explains the reason why, Despite the gods above, The young are often doomed to die; The old to fall in love!
