come in this ininnit, (hilii you II ketch your dcaili a-cold ! " SOUVENIR VERSE AND STORY. 73 A VALENTINE. FROM TWO COLLIERS OF NEW ASHFORD I O TWO DAMSELS OF LANESBORO . Two brother collier chaps be we, Eke of New Ashford town, Who oft two lovely damsels see, When we with coal come down. And like our coal pits are our hearts, With love for you on fire, When, sitting on our long black carts, Your beauty we admire. And if our soot your taste don t suit, And you our suit despise, Then like dead c...oals shall be our souls, As like live coals your eyes. About our hue you needn t raise A mighty hue and cry ; Jt like the hues some lovers praise, Not quite skin deep doth lie. And, ere we ll die for that dark dye, And perish of your scorn, Soaked in weak lye a week we ll lie, Till white as we were born. 74 SOUVENIR VERSE AND STORY. Nay, though our skins were really black, We never did get blue, As ah ! alas ! and ah, good lack ! Too many people do. And thus, in this most tender lay, We lay our bosoms bare, All in a way we hope will weigh, Against the hues we wear.
