Habits and men, with remnants of record touching the makers of both

by Dr. Doran

A lawn about the shoulder thrown

Into a fine distraction;

An erring lace, which here and there

Inthrals the crimson stomacher;

A cuff neglectful, and thereby

Ribbons to flow confusedly;

A winning wave, deserving note,

In the tempestuous petticoat;

A careless shoe-string, in whose tie

I see a wild civility;
