Miss S. (her maiden name wuz Higgs, o’ the fus’ fem’ly here)
On her Ma’s side ’s all Juggernot, on Pa’s all Cavileer,
An’ sence I’ve merried into her an’ stept into her shoes,
It ain’t more ’n nateral thet I should modderfy my views:
I’ve ben a-readin’ in Debow ontil I’ve fairly gut
So ’nlightened thet I’d full ez lives ha’ ben a Dook ez nut;
An’ when we’ve laid ye all out stiff, an’ Jeff hez gut his crown,
An’ comes to pick his nobles out, wun’t this child be in town!
We’ll hev an Age o’ Chivverlry surpassin’ Mister Burke’s,
Where every fem’ly is fus’-best an’ nary white man works:
