ON A WALTZING GIRL.

There's a charming young girl that I know,

And I've thought that, if I were a beau,

I should like to engage her in chat,

To feast on her smiles, and all that,

And drink her sweet words as they flowed

From her musical mouth, like an ode;

But there's one thing that shocks me, I own,

And drives me to let her alone:

She has one of the worst of all faults--

_She is fond of this new-fangled waltz_.
