The Low-Backed Car.

when nfSt 1 saw sweet Pegey,
Twas on a market day;
A low-baeked car she drove, and sal
Upon a truss of hay;
But when that hay was blooming
grass,
And deeked with flowers of spring,
No flower was there that could COM
pare
With the blooming girl ! sing.
AS she sat in the low-backed car,
The man at the turnpike bar
Never asked for the toll,
But just rubbed his ovid poll,
And looked after the low-baeked car.
In battles wild connections,
The proud and mighty Mars
With hostile scythes demands his
tithes
OF death in warlike cars;
While Peggy, peaceful goddess,
Has darts in her bright eye,
That knocked men down in the mar
ket town,
As right and left they fly;
While she sits in her low-backed car.
Than battle more dangerous far
For the doctors art
Cannot cure the heart,
That is hit from that low-backed Ear.
Sweet Peggy round her car, sir,
Has strings of ducks and geese,
But the scores of hearts she slaugh-
tiers
BY far outnumber these;
While she among her poultry sits.
Just like a turtle dove,
Well worth the cage, ! do engage,
OF the blooming god of Love-
While she sits in her low-backed car,
The lovers come near and far,
And envy the chicken
That Peggy is pickin'
AS she sat in the low-backed car.
Oh. I'd rather own that car, sir,
With Peggy by my side,
Than a coach and four, and gold
galore,
And a lady for my bride;
For the lady would sit forninst ME,
On a cushion made with taste,
While Peggy would sit beside me,
With my arm around her waist,
While we drove in that low-backed
car,
To be married by Father Mahar;
o. my heart would beat high
At ner glance and her sigh,-
Though it beat in a low-backed car,
