She must—she could—she would have her whim,

Her father, she turn'd a deaf ear to him—

He might kill her—she didn't mind killing!

He was welcome to cut off her other limb—

He might cut her all off with a shilling!

Golden Girdle, or Golden Chain,

She writhed with impatience more than pain,

And utter'd "pshaws!" and "pishes!"
