THE GOLDFINCH AND LINNET*
A GAUDY Goldfinch, pert an:l gv,*
Hopping blithe from spray to spray,
Full of frolic, full of spring,
With head well plum’d and burnish'd wing,
Spied a sober Linnet hen,
Sitting all alone,
And bow’d and chirp’d, and bow’d again;
And with familiar tone,
He thus the dame addrest,
As to her side lie closely prest:
u I hope, mv dear, I don't intrude)
By b-eaking on your solitu ;e;
But it has always been my passion
To forward pleasant conversation;
And I should be a stupid bjfd
To pass t e fair without a word;
I. who have b en for ever noted
1 o be the sex’s most devoted.
Besides, a damsel unattended,
Left, unnotic’d and unfriended,
-Appears (excuse me) so forlorn,
T hat I can scarce suppose,
By any she that e’er was born,
’Twould be the thing she ch se.
How happy, then, I’m now at leisure
To wait upon a lady’s pleasure;
And all this morn have nought to do
But pay my duty, 10-.<e, to you.
What, silent!—Ah, those looks demure,
And eyes of languor, make me sure
Toat in my random idle chatter
I quite mistook the matter!
It is not spleen or contempladon
1 hat draws you to the cover;
But ’tis some Under assignation:
Well!—who’s the favor’d lover?
I met hard‘by, in quuker suit,
A youth sedately grave and mute;
AnJ from tae maxim, like to like,
Pt haps the sober youth might strike.
Yes, yes, ‘tis he, i ll la’ my life,
Who hopes to get you for a wife.
But come, my dear, I knew you’re wise,
Compare and juuge, and use your e^es.
No female ytt couid e’er behold
The lustre of ray red and gold,
My ivory bill anJ jetty crest,
But all was done, and I was blest.
Come, brighten up, and act with spirit,
And take the fortune that y ou merit.”
He ceas’d—Linnetta thus repli’d,
With cool contempt, and decent priue:
“ ’Tis pity, sir, a youth so sweet,
In form and manners so complete.
Should do an humble maid,the honor
To waste his precious tiirfo upon her.
A poor forsaken she, you know,
Can do no credit to a beau;
And worse would be the case,
If meeting one whose faith was plighted,
He should incur the sad disgrace
Os being slighted.
Now, sir, the sober-suited youth,
Whom you were pleas’d to mention,
To those small merits, sense and truth,
And generous love, has some pretension.
And then, to give him all his due, Y
He sings, sir, full as well as you, r*
And sometimes can be silent too. J
In short, my taste i so perverse,
And such my wayward fate,
That it would be my greatest curse,
To have a coxcomb to my mate.”
Tins said, away she scuds,
And leaves beau Goldfinch in the suds.
