“ Y< u ne'er can object to my arm round your waist 
And the reason you’ll readily guess ; 
I’m an editor, dear, and I always Insist 
On the • Liberty of the Press,’” 
SHE. 
“I’m a minister's daughter, believing in texts, 
And I think all the newspapers bad : 
And I’d make you remove your arm. were It not 
You were making the waist places glad.”
