So I wish you the joys of the season—
Merry Christmas and happy New Year!
Then there's my little bill of two hundred
For laces and trimmings—but laws!
You wont grudge your poor rib a few ribbons;
Will you, duck?—and ten guineas for gauze.
And a hundred for bonnets and hats,
And my last di'mond set—such a dear!—
Kiss me, love! Oh! the joys of the season!
Merry Christmas and happy New Year!
