Bursting bags, so very full, you'll never get to snap at all,
Fat and frequent boxes quite impossible to strap at all.
Stay—what display, both of quantity and quality,
These rummaging douaniers oft bring to light;
Ev'ry description of feminine frivolity,—
They rumple it and crumple it in fiendish spite!
Coloured bows and silken hose, with snowiest of petticoats,
Little loves of tiny gloves, and bugle-broidered jetty coats,
Morning caps and evening wraps, with handkerchiefs and quillery,
Dinner dresses, golden tresses, ribbon, lace, and frillery!
