New Haven College, Jan. 14.
Our sweeper having lately buried his spouse, and
accidentally hearing the death and will of his deceased
Cambridge brother, has conceived a violent passion for the
Relict. As love softens the mind, and disposes to poetry,
he has eased himself in the following strains, which he
transmits to the charming widow, as the first essay of his
courtship.
1.
Mistress A---y,
To you I fly
You only can relieve me,
To you I turn,
For you I burn,
If you will but believe me.
