COCK ROBIN AND JENNY WREN.

"My dearest Jenny Wren,
If you will but be mine.
You shall dine on cherry-pie,
And drink nice currant-wine.

I'll dress you like a Goldfinch,
Or like a Peacock gay;
So if you'll have me, Jenny,
Let us appoint the day."

Jenny blush'd behind her fan,
And thus declared her mind:
"Then let it be to-morrow, Bob,
I take your offer kind;
