Two weeks had gone by, and our damsel had bent
Whatever of strength she possessed to attain
The “true Grecian bend,” and it was not in vain.
The day now arrived for the startling “début,”
And our heroine smiling emerged to the view
Of the Boulevards, where “tout le monde” in a maze
At the strange apparatus in wonder did gaze.
This strange apparatus, as I before said,
Perched on heels that supported a hump on the head,
A hump on the back and a crook in the arm
