Times now are sadly Out of joint a ID.


My heart is filled with woe,
/ When Ireaect how things have changed


Since thirty years ago. s4
| recollect about that time a aas


That BOYS and GIRLS were plenty,
And never changed those simple names
Till seventeen and twenty; arsa
But now, in this enlightened age, III


This time Of great invention,
Twill never do to speak of boys,


And girls you must not mention,
For every child of six years old.
Or e'en nursing baby,
Is christened in these hopeful times
A gentleman or lady. ..r.
The boys--the gentlemen mean, l


Soon learn to strut and swagger,
And wear concealed beneath their dress


A Bowey knife or dagger. a
They never go to school, o no,
| A schools no place for knowledge,
They learn their A B C's at home, ...


And then they're FIT for College;
A few months spent within its walls,
They come out quite eated, ..
And jabber Latin, Greek, and French,


To PROVE they're educated.
The girls-,hat is the girls that were,
| Away their dolls will throw,
And pout at four years old belle,


At six they've caught beau,
And Ma their tiny forms will deck


With jewels, silks and laces,
And teach them how the Grecian bend
Y Will much improve their graces,
Their little hands were never made


To knit, or sew, or darn,
But then, you know, the little things, n.


Soon learn to spin-street yarn.
Oh dear, oh dear, I'm sadly greved, y.


My heart is filled with woe
When reflect how things have changed


Since thirty years ago.
