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!

OH! SAY NOT WOMAN’S HEART IS BOUGHT.
From the Opera of “Clari, the Maid of Milan.”
