The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1885-10-24

But keep thou the rose till it fade and die,
Oh supe with the curious shanks,
And nail down the grass, and stihe thy sigh
For her of the cute catchy pranks.
For super art thou and soubrette is She
Thou know'st, thou know'st she's not for thee.
