BACHELORS. A. lone clouds in Autumn eves As a tree without it leaves. As a shirt without its sleeves. Such are bachelors. As syllabub without ahead. As jokes notlaughW at when they're said, As cucumbers without a bed. Such are bachelors. As creatures of another sphere. As things that have no business here. As inconsistencies 'tis clear. Such are bachelors. Whsn lo ! as souls in fabled bowers.
As being born for happier hours, As butterflies on favor'd Row'rs, Such are maried men. These perform tVier functions high; They bear their fruit and then they die, And littk fruits come by and by. So die married men. But ah? as thistles on the blast From every garden-bed are cast, And fade oa dreary wastes at last, So die bachelors. Then. Thomas, change that grub-iike skin; Your butterfly career begin. And fly and swear that 'tis a sin To he a bachelor!
