"I have it, a good thought, I don't care a pin ;"

So under the toilette her caxon she threw,

And then boldly cried, " Now, Sir, you may come in."

He started, drew back, gave a kind of a hoot!

Did fond lover e'er such an accident twig?

She bridled and curtsied, as bald as a coot,

In her flutter forgetting her head had no wig.

With gravity he was no longer endued ;

His risible muscles unmasterable grew; And while a loud volley of laughter ensued,

His jaws he so stretch'd that out every

tooth flew!

[blocks in formation]

He'd a grunter, a cow, aye, and whiskey at home;

And the love of all fair ones might well make him vain,

But dearest was Judy to Teddy M'Fane!

I steal to his cabin, blind Darby to see, He cries," Arrah, Judy, our Ted's far from thee!

He would go to England his fortune to

make

With a hod, or in hay-field-och, 'twas all for thy sake!".

I snatch up the pipes, the dear pipes of my Ted,

And kiss them and weep, but the music is fled!

Ne'er a lad in Kilkenny could finger a strain,

Or foot at a wake, like young Teddy M'Fane.

At morn or at eve, when I milk their

one cow,

I sing, "Cruel Teddy, come to me, boy, do,

From your own red-hair'd Judy, och! how could you part? Some Countess will be after stealing your heart."

My old mother scolds in her corner all day,

Calls my cheeks white as linen-och! sure, well she may, They're bleach'd by my tears, like two

spouts in the rain

Arrah, blow ye winds, bring me back Teddy M'Fane!

FRIENDSHIP.

FRIENDSHIP's indeed a social charm,
That warms each gen'rous breast;
It quiets many a false alarm,

And sets the mind at rest.

Then why should we neglect to form, Before the time of need,

A haven to escape that storm

From which we might be freed?

And why should we our lives mispend,
Without our comforts seeing;
For who would like his days to end,
A solitary being!

Sittingbourn, 2d Sept. 1812.
