——:o:——

It is not that my Lot is Low.

(After Henry Kirke White.)

It is not that my “place” was low,

That bids my foolish tear to flow;

It is not that that makes me moan,

But ’tis, that all my money’s gone.

Thro’ slummy back-streets now I roam,

Whene’er I venture out from home;

To luckier souls I leave the rest,
