Has Bell at Beatie dared to sneer,

Or Beatie chanced at Bell to jeer?

Has either vented girlish spite,

Because she likes to tease?

Or loves, like dogs, to bark and bite,

Beneath the trees!

Has either called the other "flirt"?

Does Bell object to Beatie's skirt?

Or Bella's sweet forget-me-nots,

Miss Beatrix displease?—
