To Rose Norreys as "Nora."

Dear ROSE, in your way, you're as brimful of Art

As a picture by REYNOLDS, a statue by GIBSON;

And we'll never cut you, though we don't like your part,

Pretty ROSE, in A Doll's House, as written by IBSEN,

Yet we crowd on your track, as the hounds on the quarry's,

And, though carping at Nora, delight in our NORREYS.
