Ab! if Icall my Cynthia sweet, Or if to Juno I compare her; If I declare there's none so neat, That not a maid on earth is fairer, She says that I exaggerate, That Lam bent on poetizing, And then—oh! most unlucky fate— She pouts in manner most surprising Ah! if my feelings I restrain And in no ardent manner woo her The fickle maiden pouts again And says that I'm indrfferent to her. I'm sure that an unluckier youth Than I ’twere difficult to discover, So hard a task it is, in sooth, To play the role of Cynthia’ My Mother.

She owns no acres or jewels rare, Yor her only wealth is her golden hair; And who wins her hand holds her theco— Would it were I, My Lady! No title descends in her famtly line, But peace and truth in her clear eyes shine, And she lives a queen by a right divine, And reigns by love, My Lady! —J. G. Burnett, in Truth. A Good Housekeeper.
