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.
