' ' . . ' BAH ! ! ! ' And now, you know, I'm really wed, — Perhaps I took the hint ? — At all events I'm fairly rid Of that obnoxious print ; For since the hour I gave the ring All note the brats refuse, No youthful tout now spreads me out The ' Matrimonial News. ' 152 THE 'MATRIMONIAL NEWS. ' It can't be in my cut of coats, — I'm not increasing fat, — I still wear Hoby-Humby's boots And Lincoln-Bennet's hat, And thro' a single eye-glass squint The most benignant views ; — But frown or smile I ...can't beguile The ' Matrimonial News ! ' TOO BAD, YOU KNOW. 153 TOO BAD, YOU KNOW. IT was the huge metropolis With fog was like to choke ; It was the gentle cabby-horse His ancient knees that broke ; — And, oh, it was the cabby-man That swore with all his might, And did request he might be blowed Particularly tight. If any swell should make him stir Another step that night ! Then up and spake that bold cabman, Unto his inside Fare, — ' I say, you Sir, — come out of that ! — ' I say, you Sir, in there — ' Six precious aggrawatin miles * I've druv to this here gate, ' And that poor injered hanimal ' Is in a fainting state ; 154 TOO BAD, YOU KNOW.
