My Julia's ankle-bangle clank.

Not rudely tight, for 'twere a sin

To corrugate her dainty skin;

Nor yet so large that it might fare

Over her foot at unaware;

But fashioned nicely with a view

To let her airy stocking through:

So as, when Julia goes to bed,

Of all her gear disburdenèd,

This ring at least she shall not doff
