ST Valentines day with a Valentine
marty and several other affairs not
small by any means, and if you are
Society" at all will pay the reading.
CAUGHT MAPPING.
The devil was after a lawyer
But he was brave and smart,
And when he was sure he'd a capture
The lawyer would take a start;
And M and down he would lead hIm,
Aud through lawyers squibs and pleas
Zen though the devil had freed HIM,
He WAS off with some strong allhis.
Then the devil despaired ever getting
SO smart and so cunning pr1ze,
Till he thought of Il trap, which; by setting
And batting right uD to his size,
And by cunningiy covering over
With device by his Gevhship planned,
That the victim, though seeming IN clover,
Would biindly rush into his hanu.
So the devil began at bis duty.
Meanwhile talking, as devils OH DO,
81 will look through the earth for beauty,
For one that's apparently true.
Then from n maiden of China Pll steal
Her amorous almond shaped eyes;
Her charms to my game III reveal.
"But. hold! one so brave and so smart
May sec through this fair daughter. Eve;
She shall storm him at first through his
heart,
Ny help Shall be hers to deceive"
No sooner bis devilship spake
Than his planning was put to test;
And the lawyer, erstwhile awake,
Was soon by his friend lulled forest.
Then views of fair, pretty maid
Would float through bis fanciful dreams,
And her voice sweetest music essayed,
Till he thought, she is sure what she
seems.
For the maid, with her frail, slender waist,
With her ravishiag, aimond-shaped eyes,
And such charms as the devil in haste
Could procure, had at last won the prize.
For the lawyer succumbed to his fate,
Till the devil had him secure,
Then he found out, alas, all too late,
How the charms of the evil allure.
Then he writhed in his chains, cutting deep,
And so argued and pleaded and swore,
ia even walked Satan from sleep,
Who found twas dream, nothing more.
And now, in despair and chagrin,
His devilship sadly doth muse
'There's no way / know TO begin,
And for lawyers Eve really no use.
And should you, my imps, when you're
trapping,
And hunting for lawyers so deep,
Think you've caught one mapping,
You'll find tits the devil asleep.
