All still the moon Is shining on,
S,iII Hymen's torch is lighted;

Nj couples in love have thought il best
I kIlow the ancient way of the rest,
And quietly get united
Rat now, True Love, you're growing old
Bourhr and sofa, with silver and gold.
Like a house and horse and carriage
Midnight talks,
Moonlight walks,
The glance of the eve aud sweetheart sigh,
And shady haun :s with no one by,
GO not wish 10 disparage;
But every kiss
Has price for its bliss
Ia this modern code Of marriage;
And the compact sweet
Is not complete
I'll the high contracting parties meet
Before the altar Of MammOn;
and the bride must be led to a silver bower,
Where pearls and rubies fall In shower

How il befell
(Snce Jenkins has told the story
Over and over and over again,
"a a styIe cannot hope to attain,
And covered himself with glory
How IL bsfell, one summers day,
The King of the Cubans strolled this way
King January's his name, they say
And fell in love with the Princess May,
The reigning belle Of Manhattan;
yor bow he began TO smirk and sue,
Ind dress like lovers who come to WOO,

Wen they sit fulI-bloomed in the ladies' view,
And flourish the wondrous baton
