PUNCH’S ALMANACK FOR 1884.

BREAK ! BREAK! BREAK!
Break, break, break,

0 Slavey, my crock-e-?'?/ /

And I would that my tongue dared utter
The wrath that’s astir in me.

0 well for the labourer’s wife,

Who can wash her own tea-things each day!
And well for the labourer’s self,

Who has no servant's wages to pay!

But the breakages here go on,

And I have to settle the bill ;

And it’s oh ! for the shards of my vanished
cups,

And my saucers dwindling still!

Break ! break I break !

A week from this you shall flee.

But the dishes and plates you have smashed
since you came,

Will never come back to me !

Vexed Questions.—Why must I go and
slog at that swift “ shooter ” ?—When shall
I get an eligible suitor ? Why won’t he make
it Scarborough this season ?—Why can’t the
woman lend an ear to reason ? How could
he fancy I was really serious ?—Why must
all jolly grub be “ deleterious ” ? Why
won't you come home early, as I wish
you ?—How did I catch thith beathly cold—
ahtisshoo ?
