"What would most vex and worry him,
Dull, modeless Man, whose spark
Long (beside Woman's) burning dim,
Has now gone down in dark?
Ha! He'd kick up the greatest shine
(If he could kick) at—CRINOLINE.
Were he recalled to breath,
I'll have one last man-mocking spree
By donning hooped skirts. Victory!
This takes all sting from Death!
