There a smooth throat, an arched, attractive ankle,

Soft cheek, curved back in bloom to close-set ear,

Red mouth full-lipped, a voice whose love-tones rankle

Still in this heart of mine,—a voice so dear

That ... But no more! In fear this rhyming prank’ll

Offend some damozel whom I revere,

I state: Jill’s just an ordinary blonde,

Fair, frail, flirtatious, rather fast than fond.

You know the type—aristo-plutocratic,

Out of blue blood by hard North Country cash;
