But onward still the tubcr came,
And laid down at her fcet
"You cauliflowcr by any name
And II will smell as wheat:
And I, too, am an early rose
And you I've come 10 see.
So don't turnip your lovely nose
But spinachat with me-"
II do not carrot all TO wed.
So go. sir, II you please"
The modest onion mcckly said,
And let us. pray. have peas!
TO! think that you have naver seen
Myself or smellcd my sigh;
Too long a maiden ! have been
For favors In your rye"
"Ah. spare n cuss'" the tubcr prayed
My cherryshed bride you'll be:
You are the only weeping maid
That's current now with meH'
And as the willy tubcr spoke
He caught her by surprise.
And. giving her an artichokc,
