AN IMMINENT BREACH.
In an action lately tried at the Cork Assizes, a lady obtained fifteen hundred pounds damages, for a breach of promise of marriage, against a faithless lover. Lady Morgan sends us the following trifle on the subject:—
What! fifteen hundred!—’tis a sum severe;
The fine by far the injury o’erreaches.
For one poor breach of promise ’tis too dear—
’Twould be sufficient for a pair of breaches!
