Unless Dame Nature’s the patentee;

I like the sort that can laugh and talk,

And take my arm for an evening walk;

That will do whatever the owner may choose,

With the slightest perceptible turn of the screws;

“One that can dance, and—possibly—flirt;

And make a pudding as well as a shirt;

One that can sing without dropping a stitch,

And play the housewife, lady, or witch;

Ready to give the sagest advice,
