Mr. Printer. Sir, I want a man to my mind; insert the
following description of the man I do not like; if any of
your readers is free of all the faults of which I complain,
pray send him to me, for I long to be married. Yours, &c.
[signed] Kitty Hard to Please.
I do not love a man that's tall;
A man that's little, worse than all;
I much abhor a man that's fat,
A man that's lean, is worse than that;
A young man is a constant pest,
An old one would my room infest;
Nor do I like a man that's fair,
A man that's black I cannot bear;
A man of sense I could not rule,
And from my heart I hate a fool;
A sober man I will not take,
A drunken man my heart would break;
All these I do sincerely hate,
And yet I love the Marriage State.
