DEBORAH’s PARROT,
A VILLAGE TALE.

’Twas in a little western town

An ancient Maiden dwelt:

Her name was Miss, or Mistress, Brown,

Or Deborah, or Debby: She

Was doom’d a Spinster pure to be,

For soft delights her breast ne’er felt:

Yet, she had watchful Ears and Eyes

For ev’ry youthful neighbour,

And never did she cease to labour
