A PUFF POETICAL.

THE BALLAD OF PATRICK JAMES AUGUSTUS DOOLEY.

Soon she fixed her eye on Patrick,

Poor impressionable fool he,

And the maiden's fascinations

Played the very deuce with Dooley.

When she served the soup she'd snigger,

At the fish she'd press his shoulder,

At the roast he'd press her figger,

With the pie he grew still bolder.

When he'd got to love her madly,

Grown to be a desperate case, he

Met her walking with a Soph'more,

Frederick Altamont Fitz-Lacy.
