The host was struck with what the spark averred,

And muttered something indistinctly heard.

THE hostess whispered HIM she thought her spouse:—

Again, my dear, such sparks let's never house;

Pray don't you hear how they together chat?—

Just then the husband raised himself and sat;

Is this your plan? said he with mighty rage;

Was it for THIS you would my house engage?

You understand me, but I'll seek redress;

Think you so very cheap to have success?
