THE FIRST COUPLE.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.

When bright with weman's glance and glare,
Fair Eve to Adams love was given,
He gazed upon her beauteous face,
And thought that earth indeed was heaven.
Each day some new delight appeared,
Each hour some new attraction sprung;
And found each link OF life endeared,
At last he tound-THAr SHE'D TONGUE.
Close hid within those ruby gates,
With all those pearly guards to screen it,
He heard her Representation states
An hour or two before he'd seen il.
She teased, as only woman can,
A power they've kept for ages long
Her plan was still the better plan,
HER tongue by far the better tongue.
Despite her charms, that sweetly beamed,
Poor Adam thought before week.
That though perfection else, it seemed
A great mistake to make her speak.
Yet she was precious to his heart;
And as for fauts-why, she was young;
He would not with an atom part.
Not-not jot, except her tongue.
