By the light of the sweetest of moons,

Oh how little I dreamt I was bidding good-bye

To my Missis’s tea-pot and spoons!

“I’d be a Parody.”—BAILEY.

WE met—’twas in a mob—and I thought he had done me—

He ran—the night was cold—and his pace was unalter’d,

I too longed much to pelt—but my small-boned legs falter’d.
