Alack!” Now this young Dac Tyl felt pangs of remorse, Forthwith he bought him a dashing black horse, Said, “to escape wedded state I’ll go West, There no old maids do the good ground infest.” Tro Chee overheard this speech, Begged he’d take her with him there, “For,” she said, “him do I hate, But I want fresh western air.” But instead of these maids who o’er anxious did seem, He did take to himself a fair vision and dream, Who would change her sweet name which was fair Anna Pest, And become Mrs. Tyl by his urgent request. 15
