A COQUETrE'S PLEA.


Would YOU ask me why | fiirt;
I'll tell you the reason why;
Were it not for NV flirting
would slowly droep and die.
Some may say, ait is not right
To break dear lovers heart
Bat what is that all to me
If II only play my part?
/ am sure I'm not alone
In my innocence and mirth,
FOR all nature seems to jilt
The gay lovely scenes of earth.
The mild sunbeams doth allure
The flowers, in color, red;
Their bloom in lovely summer
Soon all by frost to be shed.
And they, then even themselves,
To nod in coquettish glee
To everv gentle zephyr
That is waited o r the lea.
Then you need not censure me
For know that am right;
I'd fiirt with dear old grandpa,
When no other vows to plight.
wouldn't give up my flirting
For all the gay boys know;
Nor would | e'er pledge my hand
To any chivalrous beau.
I'll not forsake this plea ure
No difference who he be,
I'll ne'er bow 10 any man
And live o meek Niobe.
Thew say Ill soon grow old
And old maiden's course pursue,
But paints, and curls, and cumming
Will then come to my rescue.
Well, what if do grew old
For it care not pin,
Ell play of sweet sixteen
Aud take some old bach lor in,
Yet, if in all this l fail
great consolation-dear,
I'll have, to know In old age
OF bliss, have had my share.
] will then live at my ease,
Remembering Tilted beaux;
I'll have no rough cur to please,
But spend my days knitting hose.
Oh. howl then ve gallant beaux,
If my beauty's made you mad
Lcare not for joys or woes
But for pleasures ! have had.
