HOW, lean and Hist or ye'll have missed,
Without ye heed my rhymes,
- A talc that stirs, of hims and hers, &&&&
* In o!d New England times.

Vhereon did land our sires, ~ fy "

But late from Albion's shires.
An ei<c anear, ior neighbor s cheer, But these two fairs with proudsome ain
Did Goodman Potter bide, Ye common flock disdain
Whose pilgrim soul was sound and whole— And set them both to plight their troth
Forsooth, it had been tried. To but a single swain.
A maia as sweet as man may meet This favored wight is Ezra White.
Was Perseverance Pell, A fairsome youth is he.
And there were swains of mickle brains But 'twixt ye twain this fuddled swain
Loved Patience Potfer well. Cannot himself agree.
fYe maid of Pell he loves full well,
Ye Potter lass ye same,
But for his life which one to wife
Poor Ezra cannot name.
"My only loves," quoth _ t{sW
Ezra, "doves '• * i' j
Went loudly up and
"Come one, come all, to ylj
Publick Hall!"
"That maid ye name is
fairest, same V v<ir " v
Is Ezra White his
bride."
Sweet Patience there upon her chair
So gathered they to have his say, ® n w ' s^ patience sate,
Each man, and claim a kiss by prompt appearance
From her who might be Mistress White— aS rea^y lor er a * e *
Elected to the bliss. y c votes are casl . a |j in al [ast

MFor Patience ten are told—but, then,
rim or Perseverance more.
" Eleven polls (bless God thdr souls I)

/J^ = * L And Ezra, much amazed,
O ° Upon ihat kissing himself was missing,
Quite starkly, darkly gazed.
Then up ruthed Ez. "See here!" he says, "Fresh lips for me, say I!" says he.
"My choice in truth ye make. So Ezra White did grab
One kissed by twenty is kissed a-plenty, Sweet Patience Potter ('twas thus he got her
And her I will not take! And kissed her right smack-dab!
