With a soul full of dread he declined the grim bliss,

Stopped her Molyneux arms, and eluded her kiss;

At last, fairly foiled, she gave up the attack,

And Joddry began to look blacker than black;

“By Mumbo! by Jumbo!—why here is a man

That won’t be made happy, do all that I can;

He will not be married, lodged, clad, and well fed,

Let the Rham take his shangwang and chop off his head!”

THE DEBUTANTE.
