Lace gets more homage than from lorgnette-stare,

And comment coarse to match, (should one display

One's robe a trifle o'er the baignoire-edge,)

'Well may she line her slippers with the like,

If minded so! their shop it was produced

That wonderful parure, the other day,

Whereof the Baron said, it beggared him.'

And so the paired Mirandas built their house,

Enjoyed their fortune, sighed for family,

Found friends would serve their purpose quite as well,
