Fierce odes to Famine and to Slaughter,
And autographs of Prince Leboo,
And recipes for elder-water.
And she was flatter’d, worshipp’d, bored;
Her steps were watched, her dress was noted;
Her poodle dog was quite adored,
Her sayings were extremely quoted;
She laugh’d, and every heart was glad,
As if the taxes were abolish’d;
She frown’d, and every look was sad,
