(February 4th, 1845.)
Mr. Joseph J. B.,
I have paid Mr. Lee
For Jessie, and all that is due,
Of which I am willing
Not one single shilling
Shall e'er be repaid me by you.
I have paid Mr. Lee
For Jessie, and all that is due,
Of which I am willing
Not one single shilling
Shall e'er be repaid me by you.
We have suffered, J. J. B.,
Both I and the baby,
Oh, don't let revenge be your plan!
But knock at my door,
Pray see me once more—
Come to Islington, that's a dear man!
Both I and the baby,
Oh, don't let revenge be your plan!
But knock at my door,
Pray see me once more—
Come to Islington, that's a dear man!

Should I advertise
Your height, person, and size,
And your name too, I have not a doubt,
That wherever you roam,
Abroad or at home,
J.J.B., you'd soon be found out!
Your height, person, and size,
And your name too, I have not a doubt,
That wherever you roam,
Abroad or at home,
J.J.B., you'd soon be found out!
I don't in the least
Want to hurt you—you beast!
But mind, J.J.B., and beware!
For your own sake and mine
Come to-morrow and dine,
And don't drive me on to despair!
Want to hurt you—you beast!
But mind, J.J.B., and beware!
For your own sake and mine
Come to-morrow and dine,
And don't drive me on to despair!
J.J.
