Enough has already been penn'd,

And now it's high time,

For our doggrel rhyme

To come, lest it err, to an end."

This hint I shall apply to myself, lest my article become as dry and uninteresting as my subject, and conclude with a declaration in which I heartily concur:

"Fee simple, and a simple fee,

And all the fees in tail,

Are nothing when compared to thee,

Thou best of fees—female."
