Not illustrated. 1903 Excerpt: ...why he had five; But none of them are now alive: And his sweet wife, our country's pride, Three months ago in childbed died. Her death made many a bosom ake Upon the banks of Keswick Lake. She thought not, as fine ladies do, Of dresses smart, all pink and blue, Who think to catch the wand'ring eye Of any fool that's passing by.
