Thoughtful of Cinderella, in the tale,

And, quaintly wondering if magic shifts

Could o'er a common pumpkin so prevail,

To turn it to a coach;—what pretty gifts

Might come of cabbages, and curly kale;

Meanwhile she never heard her old man's wail,

Nor turned, till home had turned a corner, quite

Gone out of sight!

At last, conceive her, rising from the ground,

Weary of sitting on her russet clothing,
