that that glorious time has once more
arrived for the Young people to make
love to each other beneath the branches
of the willow we beg to give you in
rhyme the Sunday situation in Scptus :
There is courting in the parlor.
There is counting OH the lawn.
There is counting from early morning
Till after the sun is gone.
The old woman she is pouting.
For the boys they stay so late
That she has to do the milking
With no ono to mind the gate.
The old man he is quarrelling,
For the son courtiDg's gone,
And he'll have to do the feeding
Unless he soon comes home.
But theold folks should well remember
And that not many years ago,
The old man was courting "Ronny"
p And the old lady her loving beau.
