Each "SS Eyed her heart to touch.
one had wit and one had gold.
one was cast in bcauty's mould.
Guess which was it won the prize
Tongu" or purse or handsome eyes!
First stepped forth the handsome man.
Proudly peeping DER her fan;
Red his lips and white his skin,
Could such beauty fail to win?
Next cane forth the man of gold
Cash he counted, coin he told,
Wealth the burthen of his tale;
Could such golden projects fail?
Then came forth the man of sense.
Wooed her with his eloquence.
First she blushed. and scarce knew why.
Then the tear dropped from her eye.
Beauty vanish, gold depart.
Wit hath won the widows heart.
