And kiss'd her and promis'd to learn all her task,
They went and Miss Ann was delighted no doubt,
Till she found Mr. Hammond confin'd by the gout,
And his daughter from home, that she wanted to
see.
Now homeward returning Ann said with a sigh,
Mamma, how unlucky our visit to-day;
I expected such pleasure to meet with Annette;
She is always so kind and good humour'd at play,
And I'm so disappointed I'm ready to cry.
