The Lovers.
There was candle maker man,
And he was very old;
For it was thirty years or more


Since he began to mould.
His business on bis face was wrote,
As plain as though on paper;
His lorg nose, running to point,
You sure would call taper.
A daughter fair he had, but he


Was wont to beat and starve her;
Said she, '.l'm sorry he's my pa,
But wish that he was farther"
And Cupid in her tender heart


An arrow dared TO throw:
AS that alone would be no use,


lie gave her, too, a beau.
But when her lover claimed her hand,
The father did dispute;
Said he, "Your ashes would take,
But reject your suit.''
So when the shade of night was spread
lie round the house would hover;
And though he was no warrior,
Yet he was mighty lover.
"My fathers coming" cried the maid
.sOh! lover, wo bc,ide you
For he will cane you, Pm afraid;
But come with me, l'll hide you."
So in the boiler he was crammed,
His legs all cramped and bent;
Cried he, 81 have the copper got,
Though he has not the scent"
And there he pass'd the sleepless hours
or that eyentful night;
The time, i, passed so heartily,


He wished that it was light.
AT early dawn, 10 light his fire
. The cross old fellow ceme;
Alas! for lovers constancy- 73i
He felt another fame.
Oh! maiden, maiden, could you now
Your lovers plight but see, Is
Your pa, for lovers sake, you'd hate,
For pa-boiled he will be. iass4 .s
Oh! now within that boiler hot,
His every limb seemed frying;
His situation, you will say,


Indeed mus, have been trying.
Now from his seat he starts, and scared
The old man not a little;
Recover first yourself, old man,
Re couer then your kettle. s
And speeding thro' the garden walks,
The outer gate he won;
Sure, after such melting down,
No wonder he should run.
Keep cool, if you would prosper
not too cool. E
