My Opinions and Betsey Bobbet's / Designed as a Beacon Light to Guide Women to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, But Which May Be Read by Members of the Sterner Sect, without Injury to Themselves or the Book

by Marietta Holley

You will rise up and get a bill.

Haste golden year, when all are free

To hunt for their affinitee;

When wedlock’s gate opens to all,

The halt, the lame, the great, the small.

Ah! blissful houh may these eyes see—

These wishful eyes of Betsey B.

Chorus.—Males! females! with a mice’s will,

Rise up! rise up! and get a bill.

For that will hasten on that day—
