young man good looking, whose income is clear The sum of four hundred and fifty a year, May address the fair Charlotte without any fear, But he must have four hundred and fifty a year.

She says, and methinks the assertion sounds queer, All depends on four hundred and fifty a year, That if a large family folks are to rear, It makes a hole in four hundred and fifty a year.

Says, few joys are by Providence granted us here, But grow out of four hundred and fifty a year, That connubial horizons at all times are clear, If backed by four hundred and fifty a year.
