  1. (continued from previous page)
    Farewell now to Stonetown, adieu to sweet Lowertown
    Likewise to my old home - dear me! it is hard!
    The neighbours me pity - but that wont make Kitty,
    To Ever again give a drop to the Bard.
    Although she departed - my wife she desarted
    I'm now broken hearted, fate has turned a card
    But what need I talk I'm not able to walk
    Dear knows its no (mock) "mawk" what has happened the bard.
