Man proposes and the widow—accepts.
December Twenty-second
Come, Hurry up! Cause the widow’s heart to sing,
Seal Pledge and Vow and Pleading with a Ring;
Or, if Cupid’s dart has failed your Heart to flutter,
To Cupid She won’t do a Thing.
—Ex-Widow.
December Twenty-third
Are you mirthful? how her laughter,
Silver sounding, will ring out!
