BALLADE OF LENT.
The days Of penanee at hand;
MaidenS and men noby bent
On self-denial, duly planned
According to the rules of Lent.
Away with idle merriment-
Dinners and dances cards and plays!
We play. the pioSs penItent~ '0'
But only for the Forty Days.
Filtration by Jeannette is banned:
My mood is likewise reverent;
To church ! go, at her command,
And hear the sermon eloquent
OF deeds undone and time misspent;
We VOW reform: and who shall raise
The question IL it's permanent,
Or only for the Forty Days?
While self-denial rules the land
The world of fashion must invent
Amusements OF harmless brand
Pastines to suit the Innocent
The sins love must now be bent
with piety--for Fashion pays
Profound regard TO precedent
But only for the Forty Days.

Though we renounce you and your ways
And think It proper to repent.
