Said he’d go to court his fair maid.”
I now give three stanzas of “The Way to Live Happy Together,”—a ballad said to have been written expressly for street sale. Its popularity is anything but discreditable to the street-buyers:
“From the time of this world’s first formation
You will find it has been the plan,
In every country and nation,
That woman was formed to please man;
And man for to love and protect them,
And shield them from the frowns of the world,
Through the smooth paths of life to direct them,
And he who would do less is a churl.
