    As for my hair—the auburn hair, You used to love so well; Alas ! it’s gone to deck the head, Of lo’oely Mrs, B-IL My very liver and my lungs. E’en them were not forgot; But given to them cruel men. Long J-kns-n and Page Sc-U, 1 thought I should have lost a rib. And many other stores ; But Doctor Ev-ns took instead, A rib from Brazen-doors. To say where my soft kidneys are, The Newspapers will tell; Therefore you need not ring at night,^ At ^ ^ Doc tor Bell.” To boil me down—did Doctor PurCf Affirm ’twould be a sin ; And then Old J-rv-s wink’d his eye. And swore he’d tan my skin.
