Sorrows Of Werther.

Sorrows Of Werther.
Werther had a love for Charlotte
Such as words could never utter.
Would you know how first he met her?
She was cutting bread and butter.
Charlotte was a married lady.
And a moral man was Werther
And for all the wealth of Indies
Would do nothing for to hurt her.
So he sighed and pinned and ogled.
And his passion boiled and bubbled
Till he blew his silly brains out
And no more was by It troubled.
Charlotte. having seen his body
Borne before her on shutter,
Like well conducted person,
Went on cutting bread and butter.

from the maternal fount and take its
