[The Defendant in a recent breach of promise case wrote to his intended, "When we are married you will have to sit with me when I am queer.">[
Dear Ladies, who contemplate marriage,
And imagine you'll ride in a carriage,
With a house of your own, and your servants to wait for you,
I'm afraid there's a totally different fate for you.
When the word has been said, and the honeymoon's over,
And you're safely returned, say, from Folkestone or Dover,
If you see your hub ailing,
And painfully paling,
And you wish to be off, and not linger about him,
