(A LITTLE LATER.)

I'll sing exaltedly no more,

But sadly in a minor key

Will tell what fortune had in store

For me.

I rather think, the other day,

That someone asked, "Should women woo?"

I'll answer that without delay—

They do!

She came—I foolishly was glad—

She took me captive with a glance,

Of course I never really had

A chance.

And when she bent her pretty head

To ask the question, I confess

That what at once with joy I said

Was "Yes."

She says our wedding is to be

On Monday—quite a swell affair.

My wife and I shall hope to see

You there.
