THE CASE OF BREACH OF PROMISE. 
 
 I’D BE A POLLY SP — LLI 
 
 Vd he a Butterfly** 
 
 FD be a POLLY SP LL near to a Chapel, 
 
 Where singers, -and seraphines, lovers are seen ; 
 
 Aiming not always a bride's ring to grapple,— 
 
 Seeking those youths who are thoughtless and *‘green.’^ 
 
 Fd never falter at using a ‘‘chap” ill, — 
 
 I’d never care, though my favour’d he’d been; 
 
 Fd be a cunning SP LL, sly in a Chapel, 
 
 Wheedling those youths who are thoughtless & “green I” 
 
 O ! could I once get my lover to slight me, 
 
 Fd soon seek Lawyers, that trustworthy set! 
 
 Their actions for “Breaches,” oh! how they delight me; 
 They show damaged damsels nice damages get! 
 
 Those who have wealth ne’er to wed should invite me,«* 
 Teaching, alas! but produces sums mean; 
 
 Fd be a “prudent” SP LL,— ’twould so delight me. 
 
 Hoaxing those youths who are wealthy and “green 1” 
 
 What though they tell me each lass good and gentle 
 Shrinks from my system as one much too rash. 
 
 Surely ’tis better, than love sentimental. 
 
 To pocket for self and spruce brother the cash! 
 
 Some in the world would fail to discover 
 The means that enable to so “ cut a dash 
 
 Fd be a modest SP -LL, robbing my lover. 
 
 Spying my law knaves still drawing his cash 1 1
