HOW VERY HOT IT ISL
Did you ever know such weather?
Seven bright burning days together?
Swelt'rlng nights and broiling days,
Sultry mosnbeams, SUMS hot rays;
No one knows which way to turn him.
All things, either melt or burn him;
Halfthe weight OF all the nation


Is flying off in perspiration,
And every man and woman too,
AS languidly they look at you,
fxclalms, with moist and mournful phiz,


Dear me how very hot it islo
Ladies all languid in muslin array, 3' 't
Loll upon couches the live long day,
Looking more lovely than we can say
Though, alas! they are rapidly melting away
"BrIng me an.ice!" they languidly cry,
But alas and alack! it is .'ali in nv eyeo-
For before il reaches the top Of the stairs
It's turned into water quite ..unawares, !
While John, with his salyer, looks red and


stares, as Il
And the moist confecioner inwardly sweafs,
As hewlpes with his apron his long, pale phiz,
fg "oh-pooh how intern lily hot il is ~
Fat men Waddle along the strand, a
Wlping their forehead-hat in hand, t4t
Dogs hang out their heads and pant, m @
And nobody gives 'em the water they want,
Until they go mad-you know, and then
They go about swapping at.horse and men,
FIJI they catch a fine YOUTH" and tickle his


toby, >i# 5t
And SO make case Of hydro-phoby s
Castermongers slowly pass


With "cauly flowers and sparrow grass ~ .,
But these edibles green they cannot cry, Il
Their throats are SO terribly hot and dry;
And you hear from each husky, and dusky


phiz,


''Ah me /! how desp'reat hot il is!u
Oh, what treat 'lwould be to wade,
Chin deep in fresh iced lemonade
Or 10 sit deep marble bowl within
And champagne gurgling around your chin
Kissing and sparkling around your nose,
Till you open your mouth and down il goes,
Gulph by gulph, and sup by sup,
As you 'Fcatawampishly chaw il dp,"
Refreshing your heart and cooling your faces,
Burnt down as they have been with all sorts OF


sauces ..s
ha fall ,bo Ill, 4


Needn't care how the weather is!
