And only wish that I could say
Nice things in such a pretty way.
But, tell me! do you really think
That love is better than "the chink?"
Why, money rules the world to-day,
With strong and unresistless sway!
'Tis little schoolboys talk of love.
But as they older grow, improve;
While girls, though they be very young,
Know better but may hold their tongue.
