MARY CAY,  OR, MISS IN HER TEENS.
An old Canterbury Tale, from Chaucer.
I.  Good Neighbours, if you'll give me leave,
I'll tell you such a story!
Twill make you laugh, I do believe,
Or I'm an errand Tory.
Yanky Doodle
II.  To shew that good from evil comes,
According to the Scripture,
When Mary Cay stole sugar plumbs,
You know how Mother whipp'd her.
. . .  [35 more verses of 4 lines each]
