To a Green Grocer (c1800 to 1820)

-
Carrots and leeks are yours, my love, If you my suit approve;
Turnips and cabbage shall be thine,
Thou funny-looking Valentine.
Indeed I laugh to look on thee,
You seem so smart, it pleases me,
To see you cut such queerish capers,
Among your onions and potatoes.Location: A Laughable Collection of Quizzical and Merry Valentines (c1800 to 1820). Printed by G. Smeeton, 74 Tooley Street. Taken from A Collection of Nineteenth Century Valentines. Early and Fine Printing Collection.
