VARIETIES.
A CONTENTED PROPRIETOR.
I have plenty of dutiful vassals,
Have plenty of gold, and to spare, I have plenty of beautiful castles
But my castles are built in the air; And may vassals are all airy creatures,
From beautiful Dreamland are they,
They drive me to balls And magnificent balls,
And tell me my coach stops the way!
But oh, what a pest
When it comes to the feat
I am kept in a dreadful delay.
A plague on these wild little vassals,
You can't trust a word that they say, And I've heard that my beautiful castles
Are Badly inclined to decay.
Father Wisdom advised me to sell them
To the public benetic clear- And Fanoy engaged so to acil them,
For Fancy's a fine auctioneer.
But the market by no means was lively,
For castles the call was but cold;
Lead and iron were brisk, But gold none would ruk,
To invest on by battlements bold, So my turrets, uulet, Iinbabit them yet,
And I rather rejoice they're not sold, And never a bit am down-hearted;
For my vassals still ply me with gold; My castles and I shan't be parted,
Till the heart of the owner be cold. Again Father Wisdom addressed me-- He's a horrid old bore in his way; He said rate and nice would infest me,
As crumbled my tower to decay. They never cati crumble, good father, They're lasting when once they're begun
Our castles of air
We can quickly repair,
As the home of the spider's reapun.
So home ward I went
To my castles, content,
As the reaper-bail told day was done,
And they looked just as lovely as ever,
As burnished they stood in the sun, Oh, ne'er from my castles I'll ever
Till the sands of my glass shall be ran !
