Will take his partner in the hall And pop the fatal question? Says he: "I will be true, eh, what? Howe'er the Fates may whack us!" What is it makes him talk such rot? It isn't Love— it's Bacchus! 4 What is it makes us take a wife, Though we may learn to rue it Through many years of weary life? It's Love that makes us do it. But when she's dead and reached a clime From where she cannot track us, What makes us wed a second time? It isn't Love— it isn't Bacchus- It's insanity.' J. W. 14858 11 NO 3. ''love's a bore." (TRIO.
