. The book of ballads . My IVifes Cousin, Decked with shoes of blackest polish, And with shirt as white as snow,After early morning breakfast To my daily desk I go;First a fond salute bestowing On my Clarys ruby lips,Which, perchance, may be rewarded With a pair of playful nips. All day long across the ledgerStill my patient pen I drive, Thinking what a feast awaits meIn my happy home at five;. ^^XD
