BY THE AUTHOR OF < € CORN" LAW RHYMES . " No . IX . Go , Mary , to the Summer—House , And sweep the wooden floor ,
And light the httie fire , and wash The pretty varnished door ; For there the London gentleman , Who lately lectured here , Will smoke a pipe with Jonathan ,
And taste our home-brewed beer . Go bind the Dahlias , that our guest May praise their fading dies ; But strip of ever \ r withered bloom
The flower that won the prize ! And take thy father ' s knife , and prune The roses that remain - f And let the fallen holvhock m / Peep through the broken pane .
And sponge his view of Blacklowscar , Till bright cm moor and town , The painted sun , and stormy crest , O ' er leagues of cloud look down . Me rose at three , to work till four ; The evenings still are long—And still for every lingering flower , The redbreast hath a song .
