Is this Grecian bend really worth your inspection?
There’s only one drawback to this same inspection,
The thought of which fills me with some slight dejection,
I fear if this study you still will pursue,
It may not be best, friend, for me and for you.
For listen! There’s possibly danger, you know,
That you may become, in these “models” who sew,
So much interested that you may forget
Yourself and the fashions, and that we’d regret.
Fair lady, oh! guard against this above all,
