4 III SA&1 &SEAASRAeAgE - n k9s
As the bachelor rises up in the morn.
He feeleth weary and sad;
And at breakfast finds the bread is stale
And the butter is shockingly bad.
His coffee is cold. and bis bran new boots
Have not been busted or brushed
And he rises up, while his pallid cheek
With anger and pain is hush'd
He then goeth out and comforts himself
By taking social lunch;
| And he thinks of his coming dinner
When he shall dine off steak and punch
But, as heenters, he knows by the smoke,
That cometh from out of the window.
That his steak, by the hands of the yer-
dant cook.
Is burnt, alas to cinder.
He sit him down, but he cannot eat.
For he with rage is Inspired;
And he tugs at the bell, until, at last,
His arms are weary and tired.
But no cne comes, for the landlady takes.
Great care to be out of the way
Especially whenever she thinks
Her lodger has something to say.
Roaring with passion, he taketh his leave
To spend out the rest of the day:
But supper time comes aud home he goes,
Grumbling the whole of the way.
He sits down to tea, bat fate has ordain'd
That no tea, viii, alas! pour out;
For a host of leaves to his utter dismay,
Have fixed themselves in the spout.
Poor fellow! no longer his pains and ills
Shall VIC in derision trace;
But we tell old bachelors how to draw
A moral from such acase.
A moral to draw, as simple and plain,
AS if old Esop had shown it
Get a snug little house, my bachelor
friend,
And snug little wife Of yoar own int.
