For ladies and dandies to put on their linen;
It comes from the forest, I’ve heard people say,
And is made from the skin of an animal gay.
My second is a fruit that comes from the South,
The juice of it is sour, and ’twill pucker your mouth;
’Tis found in candy shops all over the town,
And, stranger to say, it is almost round.
My whole is an article that is often seen
In the gardens and fields almost covered with green;
It is very sweet, and also pleasant to eat,
