MORAL.
Take warning, young people of every degree,From Hermann's example, and don't live too free!
If you get in bad company, fly from it soon!
If you chance to get thrash'd, take some gin in a spoon;
And remember, since wedlock's not all sugar-candy;
If you wish to 'scape “wigging,” a dumb wife's the dandy!
