To stuff arm-chairs; sometimes, I'm told,

They're used to mix with mortar!

And Lucy? She's at Bangalore,

And married to old Colonel Bore;

They say she flirts from ten to four—

Indeed, I do not doubt them.

'Tis hard to steer among the rocks

Of life without some awkward knocks;

They say that "Love laughs loud at locks"—

He howls at those without them!
