so THEY WE'RE NOT MARRIED.

There was young maid In Fill,
And in number her lovers were three;
But which she loved best
She needed a test
70 tell her. SO doubtful was she.
So she stirred up a cannibul war,
Till the whole land was Redeemed w.
gore,
And young man No. 1
Got slain with a gun;
But her heart was as light AS bs.ors.
So she knew that she didn't love him,
That her fancy was only a within;
But still there were two,
Both eager to WOO,
And still her loves eyesight was dim.
But youth No. 2 in a fight
Was captured one terrible night.
And they made him the meat
At a cannibal treat;
And she found that her heart was still
light.
10 she didn't love that one, she knew.
But she was still In doubt what to do.
For young man No. 8,
For all she could see,
Was no dearer than youth No. 2.
But her fears In due time were allayed,
For the enemy made a fierce raid,
And, with arrow points filled,
Her last lover was killed;
And she lived and she died an old maid
