A lovely group of Castilian maids,

'Tis a thing for a song or sonnet!—

But cork, as it stops the bottle of gin,

Or bungs the beer—the small beer—in,

It pierced her heart like a corking-pin,

To think of standing upon it!

CXIII.

A Leg of Gold—solid gold throughout,

Nothing else, whether slim or stout,

Should ever support her, God willing!
