And where all that goes on is surveyed by Mamma.
To Golf on the downs for the whole of the day
Is "so awfully jolly," they keep on asserting,
With a good-looking fellow to teach you the way,
And to fill up the time with some innocent flirting,
And it may be the maiden is wooed and is won,
Ere the whole of the round is completed and done.
Henceforward, then, Golf is the game for the fair—
At home, and abroad, or in pastures Colonial,
And the shouts of the ladies will quite fill the air
