  Tabitha dressed for her wedding:-
  “Tabby, why look so sad?”
“ - O I feel a great gloominess spreading, spreading,
  Instead of supremely glad! . . .
  “I called on Carry last night,
  And he came whilst I was there,
Not knowing I’d called. So I kept out of sight,
  And I heard what he said to her:
  “‘ - Ah, I’d far liefer marry
  You, Dear, to-morrow!’ he said,
‘But that cannot be.’ - O I’d give him to Carry,
  And willingly see them wed,
  “But how can I do it when
  His baby will soon be born?
After that I hope I may die. And then
  She can have him. I shall not mourn!’
