CL.

LOUIS, WHAT RECK I BY THEE. Tune--"_Louis, what reck I by thee._"

[The Jeannie of this very short, but very clever song, is Mrs. Burns. Her name has no chance of passing from the earth if impassioned verse can preserve it.]

Louis, what reck I by thee, Or Geordie on his ocean? Dyvor, beggar loons to me-- I reign in Jeannie's bosom.

Let her crown my love her law, And in her breast enthrone me. Kings and nations--swith, awa! Reif randies, I disown ye!
