    JOLLY LAUGHS FOR JOLLY FOLKS; OR, FUNNY JESTS AND STOEIES, JOCULAR AND LAUGHABLE ANECDOTES, JONATHANISMS, JOHN BULLERS, AND IRISH PADDYISMS, &c. Care to our coffin adds a nail no doubt, And every grin, so merry, draws one out • I own I like to laugh, and hate to sigh, And think, that risibility was given For human happiness, by gracious heaven And that we came not into life to cry To wear long faces, just as if our Maker’ The God of goodness, was an undertaker, Well pleas’d to wrap the soul’s unlucky mien Id sorrow s dismal crape or bombazine. Methinks I hear the Lord of nature say, •?)lsi how you plague me! Go, be wise, be gay. Mirth be your motto—merry be your heart ■ Good Jaughis are pleasant inoffensive things. PETER PINDAR.
