ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL, by                    
First Line: A bachelor sat in his chair - and he thought
Last Line: "but they thought, and they thought, and they thought"
Subject(s): Women


A bachelor sat in his chair—and he thought—
And he made up his mind that he wouldn't be caught:
And yet he wanted to do what he ought,
And he thought, and he thought, and he thought.

A little maid sat in her chair—and she thought—
And she made up her mind that she wouldn't be caught:
And yet she wanted to do what she ought,
And she thought, and she thought, and she thought.

A bachelor sat in his chair—and he thought—
And a little maid sat by him—just as she ought—
For, alas! they forgot about not being caught,
But they thought, and they thought, and they thought.
