INCONSISTENCY.

He says goodbye TO Matilda,
And promises that she
Shall light his every vision
Beside the rolling sea.
He promises a letter
Shall reach her every night,
Then down the road he wander6
And passes out OF sight
He noon 10 ut the ocean,
And there meets many girls
With brown and lilac optics,
And black and golden curls.
He takes them out a-riding,
He takes them to the hops,
And often I'm their honor
Visits the candy-shops.
With them he goes a-bathing
Upon the shining strand,
And then they sit and gossip
Upon the shelly sand.
He takes them to the races,
And on the horses bets,
And writing not letter,
Matilda he forgets.
And furious Is Matilda,
That paragon and pearl.
To find that George comes homeward
Engaged to another girl.
