THE BACHELOR'S SONG.

In one of the States of the Argentine Republic bachelors have to pay a fine of £1 a moath up to the age of thirty, a month from thirty to thirty-five, and £6 a month after they reach the age of fifty.]

Since my twentieth birthday I had tried

With no success to win a bride;

My heart had been returned with thanks

By cruel ladies in endless ranks...

But, instead of the balm that the jilted lacks..

The State came down on me with a tax,

And I saw my savings disappear

At the rate of twelve pounds every year.

It came a bit expensive, for

I wasn't a wealthy bachelor.

Fearing my purse wouldn't stand the drain.

At the age of thirty I tried again; Bought new clothes of the latest style.. Practised & fascinating smile; But why, I cannot understand- Nobody wanted my heart and hand,.. And the State, in its brutal, callous way. Doubled the tax it made me pay

Pounds to the number of twenty-four I paid for being a bachelor.

Seventy pounds and a couple more. I paid for being a bachelor.

I wrote these lines with a borrowed quill "On the back of an unpaid tailor's bill.

It seems the only refuge for

A cruelly barried bachelor..
