The farmer's daughter hath soft brown hair (Butter and eggs and a pound of cheese) And I met with a ballad, I can't say where, That wholly consisted of lines like these. - Ballad [Ballads] I can not sing the old songs now! It is not that I deem them low, 'Tis that I can't remember how They go. - Changed [Songs] Life is with such all beer and skittles. They are not difficult to please About their victuals. - Contentment [Life] I've read in many a novel, that unless they've souls that grovel-- Folks prefer in fact a hovel to your dreary marble halls. - In the Gloaming [Home] To sit, happy married lovers; Phillis trifling with a plover's Egg, while Corydon uncovers with a grace the Sally Lunn, Or dissects the luck pheasant--that, I think, were passing pleasant As I sit along at present, dreaming darkly of a dun. - In the Gloaming, (parody on Mrs. Browning) [Matrimony]
