Nursery Rhyme. CCCCXLII. Love And Matrimony.

By Unknown

It's once I courted as pretty a lass, As ever your eyes did see; But now she's come to such a pass, She never will do for me. She invited me to her own house, Where oft I'd been before, And she tumbled me into the hog-tub, And I'll never go there any more.
