AIR by Mrs. WRIGHTEN.

O! never be one of those sad silly fellows,
Who always are snappish, suspicious, and jealous,
Who live but to doubt,
To pine and to pout,
To take one to task,
Examine, and ask
A hundred cross questions, to pick something out.
O! never, &c.
If by chance he shou'd come,
And not find her at home,
'Tis, “Madam, why so late?
“Where the Devil cou'd you wait?
“What's been done? what's been said?
“Zounds! I feel it on my head.”
O! never, &c.
