Mr. Parks, Please give the following lines a place in your
paper, and you will oblige Your humble servant, J.R.
If the angel you court,
Should a devil retort,
Quum vinculis matrimonii vincta:
O! how then you'll reflect
On what now you reject,
Verba vera candore amicta:
But as then it's too late,
You may hug your curs'd fate,
Cum cornutibus cornua geris.
Words never so good,
May be misunderstood,
At verbum sapienti est satis.
From Fog's Journal. No. 411:
