THE RETORT.
BY GEO. P. MORRIS.

Old Nick, who taught tho village school,
Welded a maid Of homespu habit;
He was stubborn as a mule,
She was playful as a rabbit.
Poor Jane had scarce become q wife,
Before h er husband sought TO make her
The pink of country polished life,
And prim and formal as n quaker
One day the tutor went abroad,
And simple Jenny sadly missed him;
When he returned behind her lord
She silly stole and fondy kissed him
The husbands anger rose land red
And white his face alternate grew
Gloss freedom, ma am n-Jane sighed and said,
ooh, dear | didn't know twas you "
