The Tired Soldier/Mrs. Hall

by Anonymous

MRS. HALL.

Young Verdict was a lawyer gay,
And of our town surpassed all;
He went one evening to the play,
And fell in love with Mrs. Hall.

But wicked men will oft' betray—
Attorneys do it worse than all;
For when he fix'd the wedding day,
He ran away from Mrs. Hall.

Therefore, I pray, a warning take,
You widow ladies, great and small
Lest in the grass you find a snake,
As was the case with Mrs. Hall.
