My dearest Poll, till I am dead;

Perhaps I'd better die," said he.

"If you don't mind, I think you'd better,"

Said she; "'twill suit me to the letter."

So Captain Jolly, worthy soul,

Deceased, as she desired him to.

In India—the lady's goal;

A wealthy Nabob came in view,

Whom Widow Jolly captivated.

And,—later,—married, as is stated.
