LEAP YEAR!
OR, THE LADIES' PRIVILEGE.
Ladies, Ladies, 'tis Leap Year! your privilege ply—
For etiquette now you no longer need stop:
All you who have swains that are bashful and shy,
May court, if you please—nay, the question may pop!
[OMITTED]
For etiquette now you no longer need stop:
All you who have swains that are bashful and shy,
May court, if you please—nay, the question may pop!

Who woos in Leap Year—pray remark it, ye Fair—
Through life may the badge of supremacy wear!
Through life may the badge of supremacy wear!
Court, court, Ladies, court! you can't woo in vain—
A few tears, a few sighs, and you'll anything do.
In spite of themselves bestow bliss on each swain—
You have but to flatter—they'll soon buckle to.
[OMITTED]
A few tears, a few sighs, and you'll anything do.
In spite of themselves bestow bliss on each swain—
You have but to flatter—they'll soon buckle to.
167
For who woos in Leap Year—pray remark it ye Fair—
Through life will the badge of supremacy wear!
Through life will the badge of supremacy wear!
Be bold—squeeze their hands—they'll not take it amiss—
But vow you are dying, they'll find you new life,
Nay, e'en should you venture on stealing a kiss,
'Twill but the more surely of maids make a wife!
[OMITTED]
But vow you are dying, they'll find you new life,
Nay, e'en should you venture on stealing a kiss,
'Twill but the more surely of maids make a wife!
