NEXT day, when tardy Time had marked the hour;

That Andrew hoped again to use his pow'r,

He was not plunged in sleep, but briskly flew,

His purpose with the charmer to pursue.

Said he, all other things aside I've laid,

This ear to finish, and to lend you aid.

And I, the dame replied, was on the eve,

To send and beg you not the job to leave;

Above stairs let us go:—away they ran,

And quickly recommenced as they began.
