THE
True Grecian Bend.
A woman in France got the spinal disease,
And from that sad moment she had no more ease;
To add to her anguish, she very soon found,
Oh, horrors! her back was becoming quite round.
The spasms of physical pain she endured,
Were keen, I assure you, and could not be cured;
But bad as these were, it seems, on the whole,
They could not compare with the pangs of her soul.
