. OMAN AND OCIET
Bread and Cheese aud Kisses. ;"

(The Practical Version thereby
"Plcnty of love and kisses dear, but not
much bread and cheese"
Bread and cheese in plenty!
Fewer kisses if you please! fkY
They'd prove unsubStantial living
without the bread and cheese.
And wherewith to pay the butcher,
The baker and the maid,
With sufficient surplus
When the grocer's bill is paid,
For the water rates and taxes;
For the gas bill and for coal;
For the doctor, should we need him,
And the rector, worthy soul.
Not emitting cook and landlord,
The laundress-all of those
For halter and boot maker,
And the tailor for your clothes.
And my dry goods bills and milliner,
seamtress and such things,
With balance left for operas and a
season at the springs;
With all these things considered,
And provided, if you please!
Then the kisses ad libatum!
They'll last with bread and cheese.
