FROM A MECHANIC TO A LADY.

Tho' for Valentine some scorn A mechanic, 'cause he toils; She had better ne'er been born, Who for that withholds her smiles.

Handicraft great judgment shows 'Tis of skill a certain sign; 'Stead of cocking, then, your nose, Be my loving Valentine.

ANSWER OF COMPLIANCE.

Industry is my delight, At my needle I excel; We'll our vows together plight, For we'll do exceeding well.

ANSWER OF REJECTION.

Of handicrafts there's many a sort, Some are dirty, some are clean; Of yours I've heard a bad report, You must guess, then, what I mean.

FROM A YOUNG MAN.

I am young, not yet of age, But I'm old enough for thee, And I'll please thee, I engage, If my Valentine you'll be.

ANSWER OF COMPLIANCE.

Youth's the season, I am told, That for love and joy's most fit, Then, kind Sir--don't think me bold-- Your addresses I'll permit.
