OLD WIXTKR IS COMING.
Old Winter is coming .iiin, abek!
How icy and cold is he?
He c:i 's not a pin for a shivering hack
He's a saucy old chap lo white and black
Ft he comes from a cold couniree!
A willy old fellow this Winter is
A nnhtv old fellow for glee!
II cracks his jokes on the pretty, sweet miss
The wiinkled old maiden, unfit to kiss.
And !rez the dew of their lips for this
Is ihe way with old fellows like he!
Old Winter's a frolicko:ne blade, I wot
lie is wild in his humor, and free!
He'll whistle alonjr, "for the want of his Iho't,'
And set all lh warmth of our furs at naught,
And ruffle the laces by pretty girls bought
A frolicksome fellow is he!
Old Winter is blowing his gus along,
And merily sinking the tree!
From morning till night he will sing his song
Now moaning and short, nmv howling and Ion":
His voice is loud for his lungs are strong
A merry old Icllow is he!
Old Winter's a lough old fellow for blows,
A t.'iigh as ever you see!
He will tup up our trotters, & rend our clothes,
Aod vjiffeo our limbs from our fingers to ae
He minds not the cries of his friends or his foes
A tough old fellow U he!
A cunning old fellow i Winter, they cry
A cunning old fellow U he!
He peeps in the crevices dav bv day,
To 'e how we are passing our time a way
And -narks all our doings, from grave to gay
I'm afmd he's peeping t me!
From the Comic Offering for 1534.
Knows he, that never took a pinch,
No'ey! the pleasure thence which flows?
Knows he the titillating joy
Which my nose knows?

As any mountain of its snows!

A Noman knows.
