The Young Widow.
SO ssEIYs.

y . y s 4
She is modest, but not bashful;
Free and easy, but not bold;
Like an apple-ripe and mellow;
Not too young, and not too old;
Half inviting, half repulsive,
Now advancing, and nov shy;
There is mischief in her dimple,
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature
She is schooled in all her arts;
She has taken her diploma
As themistress ofall hearts;
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh aud when to smile;
O, maid is sometimes charming,
But the widow all the while!
Are you sad? how very serious
Will her handsome face become;
Are you angrys she is wretchcd,
Lonely, triendless, fearful, dumb;
Are you mirthful2 how her laughter, &
Silver sounding, will ring out;
She can lure and catch and play you,
As the angler does the trout.
You old bachelors Of forty,
Who have grown so bold and wise,
Young Americans Of twenty
With the love locks in your eyes,
You may practice all our:lessons 7
Taught by Cupid since tie fall,
But know little widow
Who could win and fool you all.s
