Which seemed to me worthy some solid reflection?
I say, that it seemed, for I must explain,
On seeing the bend, I could not refrain
At first from scorn and dejection, but now
My feelings are altered entirely, I vow.
For when by the dashing “beau-monde” I was told,
The bend was the fashion—I soon came to hold
Opinions quite different; believe me, to-day
It seems to me “stylish” and most distingué.
