The heart of the young he-boarder doth win,
Playing “The Maiden’s Prayer” adagio—
That fetcheth him, as fetcheth the “bunko skin”
The innocent rustic. For my part, I pray
That Badarjewska maid may wait for aye
Ere sits she with a lover, as did we
Once sit together, Amabel! Can it be
That all that arduous wooing not atones
For Saturday’s shortness of trade dollars three?
Behold the deeds that are done of Mrs. Jones!
