But, hola! she was not in lawn;

For as she turned to go,

I saw the pearls glow at her throat,

The satin gown about her float,

Though timid like the doe.

Caramba! I have not the dough

For such expensiveness.

The eyes, the lips, the timid air,

That’s varee nice; but, oh, beware

That C. O. D. express!
