The cook turned her back, and the long-whiskered thief

Ran off with my beautiful maid;

She clawed up my beautiful maid;

She swore o’er my beautiful maid;

Oh, pussy, you hussey,

Oh, what have you done?

You have eaten up my beautiful maid!

——:o:——

OH! SAY NOT WOMAN’S HEART IS BOUGHT.

From the Opera of “Clari, the Maid of Milan.”
