SOME BACHELORS LEvEE SONGS.

Solus Singleman.
My name is Solus Singleman,-
never have been married,
Because the efforts have made
Have ckingly miscarried

I'd counted Is years,
At q II thin mustache
The color OF my ears.
Alas! Alas
think my doom Is written,
That everytime I WOO lass

How short the time appears!-
That bachelors were useless things,
Like half a pair of shears;
That boast and hustle as they might,
They were foolish race,
Unmarried cause they dare not look
woman in the face.
Alas Alas
bachelor is a gump,
Who wastes his precious time to whip
The devil round stump.
/ dreamed the end OF things had come,
And mortals, every one,
Were just about to answer for
The deeds that they had done.
The bad were sent where Pluto reigns:
The good had better grace;
But bachelors were pronounced to be
Not fit for either place.
Alas Alas!
How vainly they did beg,
And looking lust like a row OF geese
A standing on one leg
thought heard a dreadful voice
Proclaim their dreadful fate,
And to tell them that to marry now
Was just a week too late
That no provision had been made
In Heavens supreme DEGREES,
To keep the men who thus neglect
Their opportunities!
Alas Alas
How dreadful their sad case was,
And every bachelors arm was not
One half so longs his face was
thought at last that Pluto took
Compassion on their lot,
And raised them all to fireman's rank
To help him boil his pot;
And when woke, and ever since,
Old bachelors, to me,
Have been about the saddest things
That mortal eyes can see
Alas Alas
Though this appeared in dreams,
1t makes my hair stand up to think
How natural it seems
Dear girls, Pm ready here tonight,
And rather wish, the fact is,
To prove my faith by works, and change
My theory to practice;
If one of you would only Just
Consent to be my wife,

The solace OF your life.
