A small and stooping fairy crone

Stept nimbly from the fire.

Said she: “The pride upon me grates

Of Gwendolyn and Gladys Gates.”

“I’ll now,” she added, with a frown,

“Call Gwendolyn and Gladys down!”

And, ere your fingers you could snap,

There stood before the door

No paltry hired horse and trap,

Oh, no!—a coach and four!
