And sought her mother's foot-steps to pursue,

Each friend desired to be her chosen swain,

And neither would a parent's name retain.

SAID one, why brother, she's your very shade;

The features are the same-:-your looks pervade.

Oh no, the other cried, it cannot be

Her chin, mouth, nose, and eyes, with your's agree;

But that as 'twill, let me her favours win,

And for the pleasure I will risk the sin.
