APOLLO's FOUNT.
A BURLESQUE,
An imitation of Enchanted Pastoral
'TWAS morning, and Mary arose,
Her stockings and garters put on;
Instinctively follow'd her nose,
And walk'd with her back to the sun.
She smil'd, and the woods were illum'd
She sigh'd and the vales were depres't;
She breath'd, and the air was perfum'd;
She frown'd and all nature distress't.
She nodded, the trees nodded too;
She murmur'd and so did the rills
She wept, and the evening dew
Fell in tears on the neighboring hill.
She slept, and fair flow'rs sprang up;
She blush'd, and the rose look'd more red;
She was hungry, she went home and supp'd:
She was tir'd-and so went to bed.

'Twas Morning, And Mary Arose, Her Stockings And Garters Put On; Instinctively Follow'd Her Nose, And Walk'd With Her Back To The Sun.
She Smil'd, And The Woods Were Illum'd She Sigh'd And The Vales Were Depres't; She Breath'd, And The Air Was Perfum'd; She Frown'd And All Nature Distress't.
She Was Hungry, She Went Home And Supp'd: She Was Tir'd And So Went To Bed.
