Young blossom in her boudoir fading:

She warbled Handel; it was grand;

She made the Catalani jealous:

She touch’d the organ; I could stand

For hours and hours to blow the bellows.

She kept an album, too, at home,

Well fill’d with all an album’s glories;

Paintings of butterflies, and Rome,

Patterns for trimmings, Persian stories;

Soft songs to Julia’s cockatoo,
