THE BACHELOR'S LAMENT. am weary of single lie. really wish had wife.

 Ny years consume in grief and pain, < And nature proves live in vaibl I've lived 50 long in doubt and fear, The girls now fly me like deer! And ifI ask rosy Miss,

 Ifshe will grant me but .kiss-- Or, Nancy will you be my brideT She laughs as ifshe'd break her side! Good God! must endure such scorn7 1 really wish I'd ne'er been born, Or had I Ishunnedthis deadly wee, By wedlock twenty years ago. But well they may revile atmeD I'm not the same used to be; My beard is long, my head is gray; My eyes are sore, my teeth decay; My shirt is dirty and much worn; ycoat is old and small clothes torn; My shoes, alas, they have no soles; My stockings have iUe hundred holes; And all these woes and ills of life, Are owing to my want of scite. Please God live and tarry here, I'll have one before another year; Bu should Unsuccessful prove, In allthe fond intrigues oflove, Should they despisc me and my pelf, I'll buy a rope md choke myself
