Morality, heavenly link!

"Now Nelly's the prettier, p'raps, of my gals,

But, oh! she's a wayward chit;

She dresses herself in her showy fal-lals,

And doesn't read Tupper a bit!"

O Tupper, philosopher true,

How do you happen to do?

A publisher looks with respect on your books,

For they do sell, philosopher true!
