AN ANSWER.

dy Clara We're De We're to the Simpt
Swain.
You have told me, Simple Swain,
That the gulf between us twain.
Ever wider groweth.
]. a maid OF lofty birth,
You, tiller OF the earth,
Whom no one knoweth.
You remind me. Simple Swain,
That have lordly train
To attend my wishes;
That dine from golden plate,
While without you humbly watt
For the broken dishes.
You have mentioned, Simple Swain,
That your face is very plain.
Iagree, politely.
And, as you have truly said,
am fair, and gently bred,
And Of presence slightly.
You assure me, Simple Swain,
That you do not boast Of brain.
Truly, you have never.
How you could 'twere hard to see,
Since you are decidedly
Any thing but clever.
1t were useless, Simple Swain,
To re-echo the refrain
OF your dismal signing.
Your dement's are allowed,
And that am rich and proud
Isn't worth denying.
You have shown me, Simple Swain.
How against my lordly grain
1t would go, to choose you.
Thank you, thank you, Simple Swain,
You have made it very plain,
That 1 should refuse you.
