The sling; you’d keep a man all night ’thout singin’ out “Yo, ho!”

OUR GOLDFIELDS SPRING.

You come not with the dainty air and grace,

And wreathing smiles, that clothe the Eastern season—

A maiden lithe of form, and fair of face,

To wheedle lovers from the ranks of reason:

You do not come in riots of pink lace,
