The Tired Soldier/Mrs. Hall

​

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 smallLest in the grass you find a snake,As was the case with Mrs. Hall.
