LEAP TEAR.
So this is leap year I All the girls
Are now their rights pursuing.
Suppose I join the company,
And, like them, go a wooing,
I’ll pen a li*t of all my charms,
Of such surpassing glory.
And send it down, for you, dear sir,
To tell the world the story.
I’m five foot five, a fraction—
I tell you this between us—
My form, without a milliner,
Is equal to a Venus.
My hair in jetty ringlets glow,
My rose is a la Grecian ;
My teeth are white, and not one false ;
My mouth is pure patrician.
My brow is filled with organs, sir,
Would set a Spurzheim crazy;
My eyes two truant moonbeams are ;
My lips are like the daisy,
My hands is like the lily white,
With nails too short for scratching ;
They 're used to working tapestry.
Though not much used to patching.
My foot is just the daintiest
That erer kissed the dew, sir,
And, what will plea«e your excellence,
'Tis never dressed in blue, sir.
I play the organ Sundays, sir,
And week days the piano ;
I can sing as well as Russell, sir—
In most accomplished manner 1
Can talk of politics—the war—
The price of stocks—the failures—
The nation’s debt—and even dare
Chop logic with the lawyers ;
Pan nrnt.A of fisnnan 1 irprnhirp
And do not deem it crime, sir,
When out of work, or in the mood,
To dare to make a rhyme, sir ;
Can flirt when Ma Is out of sight 5
Can waltz, or dance the polka ;
Can bandy compliments—retorts,
With e'en a veteran joker;
Canclear, starch collars,capes, and frills,
Or crimp a muslin ruff, sir ;
Make puddings, custards, cakes and pies,
If Ma will mix the stuff, sir,
My heart, as yet, is all my own,
’Tis warm and true. My cranium
Is crammed with Latin, Spanish, Greek;
In French I took the premium.
I am not rich, but in these days
Who cares about the pelt, sir ?
Wit, beauty, and accomplishments
Are fortunes in themselves, sir.
Now, if you know a “ nice young man,”
Who want9 a wife like me, sir,
Suppose you hint the coast is clear,
And let him come and see, sir.
