O, men, with mothers to please!

It is not for them my portraits are bought,

But for dearer far than these!

Snip! snip! snip!

With a point as keen as a dart,

Carving at once a likeness to suit,

And a place in the loved one's heart.

"But why do I talk of her?

The fair one of unknown name,

I hardly think she could tell the face,
