Suffering not the excitation
Consequent on seeing those
Shapely hose, hose, hose—
White as winter’s snows,
Save the stripes, so richly tinted with the blushes of the rose,
Are the hose, hose, hose, hose—
Those hose, hose—
Are the fascinating, aggravating hose.
Lutin.
Puck, (New York), May 21, 1879.
