With her silverest tones and dreamiest look,
To recite the sad “Bells” and sing the sweet “Brook.”
In trips Enoch Taylor with humor and fun,
As “Dundreary,” or “Paddy,” or “George Washington;”
He has a strong weakness for “Widow Bedotte,”
Indeed, for all widows a weakness he’s got.
See the bright star, May Donally, rise,
Whose musical voice and luminous eyes
Make her so brilliant in reading and song,
We wish we could teach her refusing was wrong.
