MUGGINS.

No swain more sad than I in all the run

(I hope you like the settlement)—not one!

Not that I pine for wealth or cities' din,

Or at the distance we've to go for gin:

Peaceful my lot—the frugal damper cakes

That simple-hearted Amaryllis bakes,

Season'd with pickled pork, my wants supply;

And calmly on my cow-skin couch I lie;

But for the thought—shepherd, I'm overcome—

Have you a case about you with some rum?
