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

(If you’ll excuse the liberty Tirzah)

I love but thee, I love but thee.

Chorus—Tra la la Miss Tirzah,

Tra la la Miss Allen,

Tra la la, tra la la,

My dear young maid.”

He then broke out into another piece, the chorus of which was,

“Curb oh curb thy bosom’s pain

I’ll come again, I’ll come again.”
